Abstract :
There are various ways for a person to deal with stress, such as sudden mood
changes, lack of enthusiasm in carrying out activities, and smoking behavior, so
many people smoke to reduce stress. The assumption that smoking relieves stress is
already widely circulated in society. Given the high prevalence of smoking behavior
and phenomena that occur among the community, the researchers are interested in
conducting this study with the aim of knowing the relationship between smoking
behavior and stress in the community based on a literature study of several studies
that have been conducted. This research design is a literature review study that
uses a systematic review method, to summarize the results of previous studies.
Sources of data come from national journals and international journals with
publications between 2016 - 2022. The search for journals used as review material
was carried out using the keyword "relationship of smoking behavior with stress"
for Indonesian language journals, while for English journals used keywords "The
relationship between smoking behavior and stress". Searches for national and
international journals were carried out through the databases of Google Scholar,
DOAJ, Elsevier, Mandeley, Proquest and Pubmed. From the results of several
research journals that have been collected and selected by researchers. So the
researchers can conclude that there are three levels of smoking that are usually
done by smokers, namely light smokers (< 5 cigarettes per day), moderate smokers
(5-10 cigarettes per day) and heavy smokers if they smoke more than 20 cigarettes
a day. And found three levels used to measure stress levels, namely mild stress,
moderate stress and severe stress. So that from 7 journals used as a reference in
the study, it was found that smoking was related to the level of stress experienced
by a person. Smoking can reduce stress levels and improve a person's focus. The
findings highlight that the more stressed a person is, the stronger he or she smokes.
Most people who can not quit smoking because they think that by smoking they feel
comfortable and calm.
