I have never smoked, never even tried it--always found it gross. However, I heard a guy on some health talk radio show, a few years, back, make some really interesting arguments for the health benefits of moderate smoking. It was interesting. I had had some friends who were smokers and I noticed that they rarely got sick. Something to do with the smoking and it's effects on your mucous membranes.

Cigarette smoking (like everythign else) is NOT harmful in moderation.

Benefits of smoking:
Causes people to stop every couple of hours and deep breathe and relax
reduces anxiety
reduces appitite
reduces hypothyroidism
Personally I think that the increase in anxiety, depression and obesty is related to the reduction in smoking and alcohol use.
We never fix anything, we just make tradeoffs.
i read that study too- i cannot remembwe where either (sorry folks)
It was something along the lines of “that which does not kill me, makes me stronger”
A little smoke (and it seems a little radiation) cause the body to react to strengthen your defenses
