Of course it is helpful. Why would anyone do it if it weren't helpful? Yes, it's dishonest. Yes, it can get you in a lot of trouble. But there are certainly advantages to lying and cheatin. If there weren't, no one would do it.
Of course it can! Why else would anyone do it?! Only to protect someone. When polititians, conmen, government departments, entrepreneurs and incompetent doctors do it, no.
It may be "helpful" in the short term, but long term, you are only cheating yourself and it will not be helpful in the end. Cheating is lying and when, not if you are caught, you will probably never be considered trustworthy. Ever. If someone cheats or lies once, they will do it again and you can not trust this person ever. Once caught, always suspect.
If you are lying about seeing someone else when you shouldn't be the it's cheating. If you are lying so you don't hurt someone's feelings or you're lying to protect yourself from something you did wrong it is not cheating.
Cheating is lying, deceiving, and deceptive.
Stop lying and cheating.

lying means someone is deceiving you, cheating however is someone purposely betraying you.
ANSWER: Absolutely, if a person is not cheating nor seeing another person, there's nothing to lie about. But cheating on your spouse and he or she doesn't know you are betraying your partner that will be lying because your keeping secret.
