Nicotine does not give the user lung cancer, it is the smoke and tar that causes it. The benefits of smoking are numerous, the main one I can think of is dying early and looking half-decent in a coffin.

It’s nothing to do with lung cancer. It’s the nicotine receptors in your brain and the desire to keep the nicotine level above a certain level.
No different to alcohol abuse, drug abuse or any other abuse a person desires.
Coming back to the cancer, cancers are genetic and everyone has cancer genes in them and they all need a trigger. Smoking, Booze, unhealthy diet, you name it, there is a trigger somewhere!
Smoking can be that trigger and it will aggravate that condition. I have been smoking for 62 years and have no cancer in any part of my body.
I had this argument with my Consultant some years ago and even she had to admit there was some element of truth in what I said.
Also why is it some smokers can live well into their 80′s and smoke 40 a day and others smoke 10 a week and die before their 25?
And what about people who get lung cancer and have never smoked it their life or who have never been near smokers?
Or a girl aged 16 who had breast cancer and was dead in 6 months some time ago where I live.

I quit three weeks ago and I know you have to quit when you are ready. I was very afraid of lung cancer but it is so hard to quit. I finally got to the point that I didn’t want to do it anymore, I was getting sick too sick. You can’t do anything I wish someone took me to a respiratiory ward in the hospital

I smoke on and off, and can categorically say there are no benefits at all. Not one. I just wish I didn’t keep on starting again. Addictions are bizarre.
