It is a common myth that smoking relieves boredom. Boredom is a frame of mind. When you are smoking you are not being occupied with the thought Im smoking, Im smoking. The truth is at that moment there is nothing to occupy youre mind and so you are compelled to feed your addiction. If you look at a smoker at a bus stop, for example, they are not being entertained by their cigarette. There is no benefit in that situation that makes that experience any less boring than a non-smoker. Look at people at the next bus stop you see. Do the smokers look any less bored? The truth is that cigarettes tend to increase boredom indirectly because they make you feel lethargic, and instead of undertaking some energetic activity smokers tend to lounge around bored, relieving their withdrawal pangs.
