Nicotine stimulates the central nervous system, making you feel awake and alert because your body releases epinephrine which is adrenaline I think. Your heart rate goes up after a couple of drags. Withdrawal really alters your mood - especially anxiety and heart rate.
Its a catch 22 situation because once you are hooked, the same drug can produce a calming, soothing feeling which is what you get addicted to. Plus there is the psychological dependency which makes giving up a nightmare for any anxiety sufferer. I would choose a time when you are not especially struggling with your anxiety if you want to give up.
