I have never smoked, don't like it, and think its full of bad news but I can think of at least a few very clear benefits: - Appetite suppressant / weight loss: This is a big one. Makes it rather popular with some people for this effect. - Relaxes / de-stresses: Nicotine has a pretty effective calming effect I am told. - Social acceptance (in some cases): This was hinted at, but in some cases it is true. So there... off to look for 4th hand smoke...
bolded part ….
that would explain all the 300+lb smokers I've known 
Just wait until they stop smoking!!!!!! 
I imagine it's different today, but a lot of older guys have told me they started smoking during basic training. Their drill sergeant would tell them to take a break and "smoke 'em if you got them." The smokers would light up, and the non-smokers would have to keep digging ditches or whatever it was they were doing at the time, so they learned pretty quickly that having a smoke would gain them a little bit of leisure time.
