Would you at least read up about this before you say something completely stupid about it? It is VAPOR, not smoke. Yes smoking is bad..
that is why they made E-Cigs. And a little of nicotine is actually good for you.
However, in a few situations, smoking has been observed to apparently be of therapeutic value to patients. These are often referred to as "Smoker’s Paradoxes".[34] Although in most cases the actual mechanism is understood only poorly or not at all, it is generally believed that the principal beneficial action is due to the nicotine administered, and that administration of nicotine without smoking may be as beneficial as smoking, without the higher risk to health due to tar and other ingredients found in tobacco.
"For instance, recent studies suggest that smokers require less frequent repeated revascularization after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).[34] Risk of ulcerative colitis has been frequently shown to be reduced by smokers on a dose-dependent basis; the effect is eliminated if the individual stops smoking.[35][36] Smoking also appears to interfere with development of Kaposi's sarcoma,[37] breast cancer among women carrying the very high risk BRCA gene,[38] preeclampsia,[39] and atopic disorders such as allergic asthma.[40] A plausible mechanism of action in these cases may be nicotine acting as an anti-inflammatory agent, and interfering with the inflammation-related disease process, as nicotine has vasoconstrictive effects."
