>You'd also be surprised to know how smoking actually curbs incidents of rage, violence, suicide, and anger in people too... A lot of the claims you're making in these posts are going to need citations. This specific sentence (with the obvious exception of suicide) sounds as though you're describing a "nic fit", otherwise known as nicotine withdrawal. So of course getting more nicotine in your system is going to fix that. Without cited sources, your claim is suspect because I can't confirm whether or not nicotine withdrawals were taken into account.

For the record, it's personal observation. I am in no way tied to the industry or empirical studies concerning the matter, and I don't think I presented the information as if I was providing empirical data. I'd envision that data to back that claim would be impossible to find anyway, because no one has ever taken time to investigate it and publish a report due to societal bias on the matter. The only real way to understand it yourself is to talk with a lot of smokers concerning their life experiences, and to also ask why in movies historically the first thing police would hand to a victim or person who has undergone a traumatic incident was often a cigarette.

  > and to also ask why in movies historically the first thing police would hand to a victim or person who has undergone a traumatic incident was often a cigarette "in movies"? Even in real life... Maybe we should ask why historically kids were given alcohol for all manner of ailments from teething to colds. Or historically why cocaine was in Coca Cola?
