There's reason to believe there are specific benefits from smoking tobacco. It's just that they are pretty much always outweighed by the negative effects of smoking in the long term.
Thank you for actually helping me find some useful and true information.
You're welcome.
I quit after over 20 years. It was really, really hard. I still crave them. Won't start again, just because quitting was so incredibly difficult. But, yeah. I, uh, think about it... Both sides of it.
Be aware, I cherry picked the information you had asked for from a much larger work. Just "Chapter 3 - The health effects of active smoking" has 37 sections. Everyone but the one I linked above has a list of negative effects. Have a look at the rest of it, too.

Don't just confirm your biases. Look at the whole picture.
Wish you the best.
I'm kind of worried about quitting, since I've heard it is difficult to start again afterwards.
