At the same time it causes stress - buying cigarettes, the need for them. :wall: So taking a walk outside, listening to some music, reading a book, going for a jog, maybe a swim, short bike ride, watching a dvd. There are millions of things to relieve stress, everyone to there own ''healthy choice'' in relieving stress. There are, there are. I didn't say that the other things are better choices. :wink:
