[QUOTE="Zeno Marx, post: 497158, member: 1211"] My memory could not be serving me well here, but I believe the Surgeon General released a report in the 60s about cigars and pipes that claimed up to 10 per day could be of healthy benefit because of the relaxation element. Now, whether that was biased by outside factors like the tobacco industry or whonot, I do not know. I could also be making the entire thing up. I thought I heard something to that effect when I just first started smoking a pipe. As I said earlier, even if coming out of habit, and not directly out of pure pleasure and leisure, an inherent element of most habits is an aspect of relaxation or stress relief or some psychological coping process with a positive constituent. I've always found it interesting how many things we do in our day that are, at least in part, attempts to relieve stress or anxiety. A lot of us are in situations, or are by nature, where we find ourselves sensitive to stressors. Instinctually, we try to rid ourselves of those negative consequences. We really are basic animals, and our subconscious is busy. [/QUOTE]
