Probably should've said "nicotine" instead of cigarettes because the benefits only come from the nicotine. Nicotine is a mild stimulant that's scientifically shown to have mood-boosting effects, even on non-smokers and can help relieve high blood pressure. Obviously it's not the best at either of these, but those are some medically beneficial side-effects.
I mean yeah I vape, that makes sense because it wasn't the nicotine itself which was killing my lungs.
Apparently nicotine itself is as bad for you as caffeine, the worst thing about it is it's insanely addictive without giving much of a high or anything in return...
