Possibly: Oral fixations and habits are assuaged by pipe smoking. But the negatives far outway the positives. Better to suck on lollipops than smoke a pipe.

Hmm!: What a freudian question! does smoking a pipe have a latent sexual meaning? Maybe. Does smoking a pipe satisfy an oral fixation? Maybe. Does it create a manly image (ala general macarthur)? Maybe. Do any of these possible psychological benefits really matter if it could kill you?
