An alternative to smoking for stress relief?

Question:

Okay, this is like crazy but I'm addicted to something I've never tried before. I don't smoke but when someone next to me lights up a cig or I walk past someone who's smoking, I start sucking the stuff in. Inhaling it like mad, craving it like crazy. It instantly makes me feel so much better and happier and more relaxed inside. I don't want to start smoking, spend so much money, and then spend double that amount trying to quit smoking. It's unhealthy but I'm starting to have way too many medical problems due to stress. I've tried meditating, it works, I like it, but it takes too long. And I'm more of a kinda dance 'til you drop person. Never tried drugs before and I don't want to either.
Passive smoking is worse than taking it in directly, but both are bad. So what the hell am I supposed to do? Even just one breath of the stuff makes me feel good.

Answers:
HI, It seems stress is taking its hold. Maybe you should tackle stress directly and see whether you still crave passive smoke.
can you try doing some breathing exercizes? inhale filling your lungs from your nose hold for 5 seconds than release for you mouth as slowly as possible. repeat the exercize for 6 times increasing by 6 secinds each time.
You should do this in a very relaxed position. It will help in reducing your stress levels.

Well firstly how old are you? I suppose you are pretty young maybe early teens. So this passive smoking fad that you are currently having is something temporary. It would go off soon. Dont worry about that. Keep yourself healthy with meditation and good food and you would be avoid any of the hazards of passive smoking.
