Benefits of smoking

So we all know and are well aware of
the effects of smoking. In fact,
governments are working hard to
reduce the amount of places where
you can smoke. That still doesn’t mean
there aren’t advantages to lighting up
everyone once in a while.
In fact, science is showing that short-
term exposure to cigarette smoke can
have surprising benefits. From mental
stimulation to physical transformation,
smokers themselves are aware of a lot
of these lesser-known impacts of
tobacco.
Millions try for years to quit smoking,
and for many it is just not an option.
With workplace stress or physical
dependency, it’s difficult for the
majority of smokers to give it up. For
those who have tried and failed to kick
the habit, let these scientific words of
encouragement ease your pain.
Here are just a few of these unknown
benefits of smoking cigarettes based
on recent scientific studies.
1. Weight loss
Perhaps more obvious to many,
tobacco suppresses the body’s appetite
and overall desire to eat for brief
periods of time. For those who are
excessively overweight and for those
who battle over-eating disorders,
tobacco has proven to show that there
are direct benefits to smoking
cigarettes.
2. Relaxant
Again, like weight loss, one of the main
reasons people take up or continue
smoking cigarettes is because it relaxes
them during stressful periods.
Although people have suggested taking
up alternative habits to coping with
stress, smoking is undoubtedly the
most common method to relieving
anxiety and stress for a short term.
3. Mental stimulation
Related to Benefit of Smoking #3 is the
mental advantages of smoking you get.
Nicotine – contained in all cigarettes –
has been proven to stimulate the
release of dopamine, a chemical
contained in the brain that releases
euphoric bouts of pleasure. Smokers
often combat stress with smoking and
in turn increase levels of happiness
and pleasure for a brief period of time
before the chemical subsides.
4. Lower risk of death following a heart
attack
A recent study showed that another
benefit to smoking cigarettes is that
cigarette smokers appear to have a
lower likelihood of death following a
heart attack. Evidence also shows that
smokers who do have heart attacks
seem to have less dangerous heart
attacks than non-smokers. Some
studies have also shown that smokers
respond more positively to post-heart
attack treatment than non-smokers.
Of course, these studies are likely
flawed because heart disease may be
linked to the very act of smoking itself,
but it’s a nice thought if you’re a
smoker, isn’t it?
5. Lower risk or impacts of mental
illness
Evidence also shows that a significant
amount of patients diagnosed with
schizophrenia use tobacco as a way to
self-medicate. This reduces impacts of
the disease and inhibits frequency of
episodes. Smoking has also indirectly
been shown to reduce the risk of
mental illnesses such as Alzheimers
and dementia.
6. Lowers risk of neurological disease
Prominent studies have shown
smokers as less likely to suffer from
neurological diseases such as
Parkinson’s. Longer-term smokers, as it
seems, appear to be virtually immune
from contracting the disease, as
opposed to short-term or non-
smokers.
7. Lowers risk of need for knee-
replacement
In a more specific area of the body,
smoking has shown in scientific studies
to reduce the likelihood that smokers
will require knee-replacement
procedures. Of course, the most likely
explanation for this finding is that the
majority of those requiring knee-
replacement surgeries were joggers or
rigorous athletes; a description that
doesn’t exactly fit traditional smokers.
