Introduction
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention asserts that smoking is more common among adults with mental health conditions than in the general population. In an independent study done at the University of Priština, it was observed that students who smoked were likely to have clinical depression in comparison to non-smokers.
In this blog, we will explain the correlation between smoking and mental health challenges and also offer a remedial approach.
How Are Smoking And Depression Connected?
If you are depressed, then your natural levels of dopamine in the body will be lowered compared to that in non-depressed individuals. When you smoke regularly, you encourage your brain to switch off its mechanism for making dopamine, as the nicotine present in cigarette smoke is already triggering the secretion.
Consequently, in the long term, the dopamine supply decreases, which in turn makes you feel morose or negative. This cycle leads you to nicotine addiction, as it encourages you to smoke more to restore the levels of dopamine to feel better again.
Well, for debaters, this could be the classic case of who came first — the chicken or the egg. But it can’t be ignored that smoking and poor mental health are strongly associated with each other.
How Can Smokers Combat Mental Health Challenges?
Whatever the scenario, whether you took recourse to cigarettes owing to poor mental health or whether you are experiencing problems after starting to smoke, it is certain that nicotine plays a key role in aggravating your mental health.
We don’t recommend you shun cigarettes immediately. Doing so will impact you physically and emotionally. Smoke mindfully. Recognize your triggers and become aware of your cigarette smoking habit. In other words, don’t smoke distractedly, but smoke consciously. At the same time, you must:

Combat Depression With Mindfulness Techniques
At times, while smoking, you may fail to realize that this habit is connected to your emotional state.
Body scan technique helps to release the emotion healthily. In this form of meditation, you pay attention to your body and bodily sensations gradually from feet to head. This technique helps you to maintain a relaxed state when you are stressed.
Additionally, you must also practice the R.A.I.N. technique. It is a four-step mindfulness process that helps you redirect your negative thoughts. The term stands for.
R — Recognize
A — Allow,
I — Investigate,
N — Non-Identification
