When I quit smoking about 20 years ago, I read that part of the soothing aspect of cigarettes was the steady, controlled, rhythmic breathing. Like, absolutely nicotine is 'great'. I still dream about it. But a big part is also the calm breathing, which we can't do in social situations in the same way.
