Do cigarettes actually induce a pleasant state of mind and promote calm feelings or is it just that people who are addicted to tobacco feel relieved when they are able to smoke and scratch that itch?

For example, I've seen people who are addicted to something as trivial as coca-cola. I can drink some soda and it's nothing more than a tasty beverage to me, but they're craving that caffeine so much that they're irritable and frustrated and then it's like a little slice of heaven to them when they can drink some soda and scratch that itch.

I've smoked tobacco once before, but I felt nothing. I don't really understand the appeal. If someone is stressed then isn't it preferable to use one of the substances that have a more noticeable effect? Alcohol, sedatives, opiates, marijuana. All of them produce a very noticeable feeling of calmness and relieve stress.

I have no problem with tobacco, but I'm just genuinely curious and I wish I understood the appeal. Could anyone help explain it to me?
