Did you know\u202f<\/span>nicotine\u202f<\/span><\/b>calms you down? Some doctors even compare it to popular tranquilizers such as Valium. Just like most drugs, however, nicotine leaves you feeling worse once you stop using it. While smoking may\u202f<\/span>relax\u202f<\/span><\/b>you, trying to overcome a smoking habit is likely to make you\u202f<\/span>feel anxious<\/span><\/b>.

Because biofeedback teaches you to mimic the relaxing effect of nicotine\u202fon your own,\u202fit becomes much easier to resist the desire to smoke.
