Yes, I get paranoia (as if i'm starting to trip) when i'm smoking tobacco. I posted roughly the same question as you a few weeks or so back. All drugs, apart from weed, make me paranoid now.
The dopamine activity seems the best explanation. A bit shit if you're addicted to nicotine...
Source?
seriously, i think i might have something like psychosis, my head is generally away with the faries...
No it doesn't. You just think it does.
The only reason tha effect occurs is just before the cigaretee your body is crying out for nicotine. When you smoke you get a hit, so your body relaxes. Smoking actually has a negative effect on stress levels.
To answer the question, yes smoking makes me feel paranoid. Only because I work in the same office as the Smoking Cessation team and I expect them to give me a gobful everytime I light up
Good lad maddog.
