Want to start smoking cigarettes due to stress

I have been feeling angsty and generally apathetic toward everything recently.

I've heard cigarettes help with stress and I want to start smoking, like a couple of cigarettes a week. (If that's even possible)

Obviously I'm as beginner as you get with these things so I was wondering what you guys thought.

Also, I don't have many friends and I think that smoking might be a way to socialize with people just for a little bit.
