"As a stress reliever, smoking does save lives." Of course there's no way of ever knowing for sure, but I wonder how many potentially fatal auto accidents have been averted because somebody used nicotine to stay awake and remain focused.

I read somewhere that smokers tend to have more beta brain waves than alpha, beta being associated with reasoning skills, etc. Alpha was being put forth, of course, as a good thing, but to me when I was tested, I felt unfocussed and sort of dreamy. Beta felt clear and alert.
