Makes me feel really relaxed when I smoke,and I know that everyone says it is so bad for you, but I only do it when I am extremly agitated, studiying, when I was in school in early years, lol, or when extremly angry. Damn, I guess I *AM* angry all the time, so I am basically two packs a day,, lol.... No joking with you. There is NO benifiet to smkoing. PERIOD. If ANYONEtells you there is, THEY ARE LYING TOYOU... One friend of mine would smoke so she would not eat, and she died of lung cancer, but I bet she was the skinniest one out in the grave yard...

It can only give you satisfaction for a short period of time and you are correct.No good effects at all!

Some say they become calmer, relaxed. Some say it releases tension. And it gives them the sense of satisfaction. These maybe true. But the downsides are worser than the benefits. Only a senseless logic will justify that smopking do have a benefit. Smiking do have long term effects such as lungs, throat, and mouth cancers. Lung diseases, cardiovascular diseases, stroke, bone diseases, circulatory problems, ulcers, premature aging, fetal damage, decrease lung functions, miscarriage, bronchitis, infections and pulmonary diseases.

No advantages at all, nothing. Some will say they feel relaxed and feels good while smoking the cig but sooner or later your health will be affected by the nicotine and tar accumulated in your lungs. So it is better to quit while your health is still healthy.

As for health reasons, there isnt any advantages to anyone. But there are some temporary advantages.. like maybe it unstresses people. I dont smoke, but when Iam mad at my boss and if Iam thinking about something crucial or heartbroken, I do smoke.It relaxes me temporarily that is.

You release tension and obtain pleasure, but this are short term benefits and people tend to be more influenced by them, ignoring the long term consequences.

There are no benefits to smoking at all. I've been a heavy smoker since age 18 (I'm now 57) and despite having tried everything to quit, many times over, the addiction remains too powerful for me to overcome. It's all bad news, smoking, and to begin is a slippery slope into an addiction so strong, that some people can't overcome it, hence leaving themselves at high risk of heart and lung disease.

The only benefit to smoking is that it can calm you down when you're feeling a little bit stressed; however you have to remember that the costs of smoking outweigh this "good thing" by far. Even without thinking about the physical things that are bad about smoking, you also have to remember that they cost an awful lot. Just think about the amounts of different things that you could buy for yourself or for your family if you didn't smoke at all. You would be able to save thousands every single year that you stopped smoking for.

Smoking is not beneficial.It will just kill you silently.Smoking causes lung cancer so better stop smoking brother.Do other healthier habits like going outside for sports.
