Smoking and its benefits

I am inspired to write this blog because a friend of mine told me that there are indeed known benefits for being a smoker.

He said and I quote: It calms him down and that is a very good benefit.

I respect that.

Note: I lost 3 good friends from this habit and it was very sad, they were all under the age of 55.

Question: Are all smokers enjoy this benefit? Are there other benefits that you know of?

Are there hardcore smokers that you know of who would want to quit but can't?

Thanks all for reading and or comments if any.


cheers

If they're going to tell you that smoking marijuana is "medical".....with its levels of carcinogens....then another plant, tobacco, could also be called medical and indeed has been used historically to calm people's nerves. We live in an age where very few have common sense....they only repeat what they're told and conform to peer pressure. Demonize both or neither.
I believe we have established the benefits of both by some posters on here and some books. The point is, what is beneficial to you may differ from others and the bottom line comes down to what is better for you regardless of its advantage and or disadvantage.

I think it is a matter of choice and for me, I don't favor anyone to smoke. Nor will I promote its so called benefits claimed by others. I do respect anyone's choice to do what is best for them. I do avoid them and make it a point to work on promoting the benefits of not smoking only to my children and their children.
