    Smoke
In summary, the conversation discusses the theory that a delayed chemical reaction, specifically the increased production of cortisol, is responsible for the feeling of fear and anxiety experienced by smokers. This reaction, caused by chemicals in tobacco, is linked to the primitive instinct to survive and can lead to addiction. The conversation also raises the question of whether smoking can cause mental illness or if those with mental illness are more likely to smoke. It concludes with a humorous remark about the difficulty of quitting smoking.

What? And have a LAUGH? What do you take me for? Some sort of happy fool?? Away with you now or I'll tell your parents.
