Benefits of smoking
-
Is there a safe way to smoke?
No. All cigarettes can damage the human body. Any amount of smoke is dangerous. Cigarettes are perhaps the only legal product whose advertised and intended use—smoking—is harmful to the body and causes cancer.
Although some people try to make their smoking habit safer by smoking fewer cigarettes, most smokers find that hard to do. Some people think that switching from high-tar and high-nicotine cigarettes to those with low tar and nicotine makes smoking safer, but this is not true. When people switch to brands with lower tar and nicotine, they often end up smoking more cigarettes, or more of each cigarette, to get the same nicotine dose as before.
A low-tar cigarette can be just as harmful as a high-tar cigarette when a person takes deeper puffs, puffs more frequently, or smokes them to a shorter butt length. Even if smokers who switch to lower-tar brands do not make these changes to compensate, the health benefits are very small when compared to the benefits of quitting for good.
Is cigarette smoking really addictive?
Yes. The nicotine in cigarette smoke causes an addiction to smoking. Nicotine is an addictive drug (just like heroin and cocaine) for three main reasons.
When taken in small amounts, nicotine creates pleasant feelings that make the smoker want to smoke more.
Smokers usually become dependent on nicotine and suffer withdrawal symptoms when they stop smoking. These symptoms include nervousness, headaches, irritability, and difficulty sleeping.
Because nicotine affects the chemistry of the brain and central nervous system, it can affect the mood and nature of the smoker. -

Smoking is a mood elevator! Nicotine and smoking are both excellent mood moderators and brain chemistry managers.
Some smokers use nicotine to self-medicate depression, either knowingly or, more often, unconsciously, as evidenced by quitting usually brings those old symptoms back to the surface. -

Contribution of the particulate matters released during smoking has the effect of cooling down the atmosphere..Originally posted by Faramir:anymore benefits?
During the Pinatubo eruption in the 90s, the ash spewed out caused a lowering of average global temperatures by 0.4 degree celsius..
continual and large contributions can help to lower the temperature rise brought abt by the greenhouse effect..
further studies will be required to see which has a greater effect..
1. Increase of the global temperature by lighting up a cigarette
2. Increase of the global temperature by release of greenhouse gases during smoking
3. Decrease of global temperatire by release of particulates during smoking.. -
just avoid smokers and places that smokers frequent
