Caffeine as a Trigger for Smoking

Caffeine and smoking often go hand-in-hand, with many people having a smoke with a cup of tea or coffee, or a caffeine-based soft drink. This means that caffeine can be a big trigger for cravings when you quit smoking

Why does caffeine trigger my smoking cravings?

Interestingly, it may not be the caffeine alone that triggers the craving.

You might be drinking caffeine in particular circumstances when a nicotine craving hits – such as having a cup of tea while socialising with a friend, or having a coffee when you wake up.

As you start on your quit smoking journey, it can be useful to identify situations like these that might trigger a smoking craving for you.

And remember – non-smokers enjoy caffeine just as much as smokers, so it’s perfectly possible to have a coffee, tea or cola drink without a cigarette

Socially drinker but no experience of smoking...

Thank you very much

• For instance, a smoker who usually drank 2 cups of coffee/tea or carbonated drink with a cigarette feel stronger caffeine effects (CNS-stimulant) from the same 2 cups after quitting smoking. 
• This is because smoking causes the body to metabolize caffeine more quickly.

I will answer as a smoker. The palatability of a cigarette is enhanced by coffee.

This is the best explanation, in my opinion.

Scientists at the University of Bristol, according to the Daily Mail website, said those with a smoking gene were more likely to have a cup of coffee or tea
