Guest guest Posted October 2, 2003 Report Share Posted October 2, 2003 Hi, I have seen several people who, having experienced the death of a person close to them, go back to smoking, sometimes after decades of not smoking. Most often, they smoke only one or two cigarettes and then are done. Does anyone have a CM theory to explain the dynamic behind this response? A couple of people described a feeling of weighted grief like " sandbags " on their lungs, and said the smoking helped to disperse this a little. Given the chemical actions of nicotine, etc., and that tobacco is also an herb, I wonder if there is more going on here.
