Cigarettes have no redeeming qualities. At least some shit like heroin makes you feel really good. Nicotine just makes you feel slightly better, but then permanently worse until you either use it again or quit long term.
EDIT: For context, I smoked for ten years and quit a little over half as long ago. This is bitter ex-smoker talk, not nagging do-gooder talk.
smoking cigarettes was the only time in my life i felt calm in a social situation and like a normal person able to engage in small talk without it being unbearable
but I could just take nicotine gum or some shit for that I quit smoking forever ago
I legitimately never had an adult friend until the first time I was accepted into a college smoking circle on the dorm porch. It really does lower social boundaries.
Probably why I’m such a nicotine fiend now years later.

it's less the time outside together and more how nicotine made my brain feel
Nicotine made my brain feel better for a long while, but in the end it made me miserable.
Try research chemicals instead
Hell yeah, bath salts!

That seems more like an issue with the alienation of our modern neoliberal purgatory than any inherent benefit of tobacco.
