How do you interpret this sentence?
There is the following sentence:
Quitting a nervous habit such as smoking can be a vicious circle.
The meaning of the sentence seems puzzling to me. How to understand the word “nervous”? Does it mean “un-relaxed, fidgety” or “something relating to the system of nerves in one’s body”? And then how can “quitting a nervous habit such as smoking” be “a vicious circle”? where does the connection lie? Big Thanks!

Hi You are addicted to smoking mentally -- not only your body needs the smoke. It is rather going through the motions that you miss. Vicious circle with regard to quitting smoking may be that you stop, then you get nervous, and your nerves make you feel compelled to smoke again.
