Billions of little pieces of dirt flow from the cigarette. It stinks and is carcinogenic. The person who smokes gets a dirty complexion and a cough; they have a strong smell; they get sick a lot and die sooner.

Actually, there are a few. For those people who smoke, it relieves stress. It can improve concentration and provide a focus point for further work.

The act of smoking is a ritual that provides a clear break in the train of thought that is delivering the stress. While the habit is nasty and has many health issues, for the smoker it is a tension breaker. Without the needed relief valve, smokers probably would have more (and earlier) heart attacks and blood pressure problems.

Science has not addressed the (perceived) benefits that smokers derive; they simply address the physical addiction. Yes, smoking is a clear danger to health, but the hidden benefits discussed above have not been addressed for healthy alternatives. There has not been as efficient a mechanism or ritual for the "safety valve" that smokers need in cessation programs.

The only thing that has been consistently linked as a "benefit" of smoking is lower rates of prostate cancer (men). However, this is due to nicotine and not the cigarettes themselves.
