Can anyone tell me the benefits of smoking?

This is my experience -

Probably nothing good really for the body, however, it does help with certain things -

 

Like driving. When i smoked, I didn't notice as much how people tailgated, swerved in and out of lanes, didn't bother to go on a green light, or how a red light meant "Four more cars may pass if in the turning lane". As soon as i quit smoking, drivers got a lot worse.

 

Smoking helps keep a more solid break schedule. Since one NEEDS that smoke, the break is taken at the correct time instead of like non smokers such as me just taking it whenever.

Strange as it sounds.  Have to say I agree about the breaks.   Nowadays at work, I will work straight through till lunch without hardly getting out my chair, where I used to at least take one break mid-morning, walk down the stairs and back up when finished.  Now I have to keep reminding myself to get up and walk around.
