You look even cooler smoking crack.

Benefits of smoking?

HAH.

...you get cancer before the alzheimers sets in?

Let's just hope the cancer doesn't set in before the alzheimers, huh? It's absolutely pathetic that people are trying to justify smoking by finding insignificant health benefits from the wretched habbit. Any benefits are far, far outweighed by the negatives. Smokers are pathetic, and that fact is only compounded by the losers on this thread who are trying to cling to some negligable health benefit to make themselves feel better about being an addicted slave to their filthy habbit.

Wooo someone has had some serious anti-smoking programming!

I'm a non-smoker but recognize that it does have certain short term benefits, namely chilling you out. Long term it doesn't look so good but as a famous economist once said, 'In the long term we're all dead.'

Short-term benefits? You realise that "chilling out" only occurs when you are addicted and the feeling of withdrawel is relieved. Smoking actually raises your heart-rate, blood pressure and brain activity, and that is an immediate effect, not just a long-term one.
