Cigarettes find their way into everyday life, becoming a part of so many activities. Habits are formed, creating associations to things like food and alcohol, or even driving a car – it seems to become a part of them. Perhaps more importantly cigarettes become, for most people part of a coping mechanism to try to deal with emotional pressures like stress or boredom. When a smoker becomes upset, he or she reaches for the cigarette to try and feel better.
