Smoking:

There are numerous therapeutic uses of nicotine or smoking. Smokers are at a lower risk to need surgery to provide extra blood to their heart after an angioplasty, the danger of ulcerative colitis is reduced, and it even interferes with the development of Kaposi’s sarcoma (a type of cancer of the lymphatic endothelium). Smoking also reduces allergic asthma.  Smokers have a dramatically reduced risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease.
