I keep cigarettes in my apartment for when I get stressed
That may be good. Do the cigarettes help you feel less stressed when you use them?
Cigarettes are my relief. If I don't smoke, I might get myself hurt.
While smoking could temporarily relieve your stress, it is ultimately an unhealthy way to cope. It may be a good idea to find something else to takes away your stress that is more healthy for your body.
If you stop me from smoking, I will lie about stuff and retaliate.
I'm just concerned about you and your health, it seems like you are too reliant on them. Do you think it's worth hurting me and others for this kind of relief? How about slowly tapering off, and beat the cravings with doing something you love?
