But if consumed in large quantity then it will increase stress by disrupting the normal sleep hence increases the symptoms of stress.it will give a feeling of false elevation and you will run away from your problems. always good to fight with your demons and face the problems. Running away from our own life will lead us nowhere.

Nicotine
It is known to increase the heart rate so it increases the stress. The simple test is measure your heart rate before and after a cigarette then you will know the difference.

Sugar
Many people eat sugary food in stress.it may give you a temporary relief but sugar secretes a hormone called insulin which helps in regulating the blood sugar level. If this hormone is secreted in large quantity it will remain in blood for longer duration and can cause energy dip which will enhance the stress symptoms.
