Smoking gets a bad rap, as there are many complications that are associated with the habit. But, lets look at some of the benefits of lighting-up. It can be good if done right; health-expects agree that inhaling tobacco/thc can calm the nerves. Stress is a major cause of deterioration of the body, and a joint/cigarette can help ease that tension. Now, lets look at the brain- chemistry, people that smoke generally are a lot calmer, mentally. There are many things that are bad for you, as well-- meat, medications, pollution, etc. So, give the smoker a break-- life is too short to worry about the what ifs.
