I guess the only benefit would be if you don't like people. Nobody wants to be around you cuz you stink and you are broke.

In 1983 I started to search for the benefits of smoking. In 2010 I gave up, finding only the transient nicotine spikes in my bloodstream that resulted from inhaling a lit Marlboro Red as some benefit. That's about it. Consolation prizes were nicotine addiction, shortness of breath, rejection by others (you smell like a barn stall), near COPD, a partial loss of lung function, and an expensive habit.

Nothing good comes from smoking. Need to relax? Meditate. Don't smoke to relax or "take the edge off". :)

You get to leave all your problems in this life much sooner.

a good reason to excuse yourself and avoid conversations or people, an avoidance technique basically
best used to avoid your own thoughts and urges and instead just have something else to do
it helps with certain aesthetics, noir and stuff

Aside from just fixing a nicotine craving, not much else, which someone already mentioned... I've been toying with this thought quite a bit as well in my attempts to give it up (to no real success yet)

What I have determined though, is that it is not as if it makes my stresses and emotional turmoils go away, per say, but after hauling on a cig, it's like I am momentarily less bothered by it all. Weed works way better for this, but if I only smoke weed, and try to quite the cigs, I still end up getting very emotional and crying a lot.

But thats me and my own observations with this drug, umm.. yeah

My wife learned that it turned me on to see her smoking, since it was a forbidden act for her. She never smoked a lot and stopped when I asked her to.

They used to be advertised to sooth a throat. And they actually can do that from my experience. But so can whiskey. Lol

The biggest benefit to smoking is when you quit. I did 40 years ago and have no desire to ever start again.

You get to support an industry, namely the tobacco industry. Give people work, help them to make a living, and this includes some millionaires and billionaires.

If you're already a smoker it relieves stress, if you aren't it just adds extra stress including financial
