[1] Walking produces some interesting psychological effects, according to studies currently under way by researchers at California State University. [2] One especially important benefit may be for cigarette smokers who are trying to cut down or quit. [3] Since people often smoke to increase their energy or reduce tension, researchers have asked smokers to take five-minute walks before they light up. [4] So far the results are very impressive. [5] Following a walk, smokers wait two times longer than non-walking smokers do between cigarettes during free-smoking periods. [6] And those who report the greatest energy increases from the walk wait the longest to smoke the next cigarette.
