Smoking causes disease. Is there anything beneficial about smoking and nicotine? What benefits do smokers have over non smokers? I know nicotine is a stimulant. Is it also a nootropic?

It used to have social benefits, that was due to large portion of ads programming NPCs to believe smoking=cool meme.

Its the same with weed/vaping now. There is social benefits due to the programming.

Smoking makes you stink so I guess a benefit would be that you wont notice how transients smell when your around them.

There's like one really specific asshole disease which might be helped by smoking and is otherwise hard to treat. A quick google found this link, but really there aren't any benifits. If you want the nootropic effects then vape.

>"Nicotine acts as an acetylcholine agonist which means it has essentially the same effects as acetylcholine inside the brain and it quickly and efficiently crosses the blood brain barrier."

It can increase cognition, however at a price. Not only is it a neurotoxin but causes both short term and long term desensitization of the acetylcholine receptors. We're now finding out nicotine can also increases your risk or maybe even cause of heart disease.

I'd recommend one of the safer and more efficient ways of increasing acetylcholine if that is your goal.
