Literally everything has good and bad sides when it comes to health. So do cigarettes/nicotine:

Diving in a narrow underwater cave is an amazing experiance, but you have a pretty high risk of dying. Lighting up candles regularly at your home may be as bad as secondhand smoke. But candles aren't seen as dangerous, because they're so cute and supposedly create some nice atmosphere. Same argument was used to defend bar smoking, part of the atmosphere. I have a feeling that awfully many of us southperrians sit in front of the computer all day. We are doomed.
Life is full of risks, it's all about balancing between being healthy and enjoying your life. Some people simply don't give a sh'it and lead high risk lifestyle. If they're not stepping on anyones toes while enjoying themselves, I don't see the problem. Let them put any freaking substance in their body, damn it.
Too many simply don't understand freedom. I don't smoke or drink but it's because I don't see the appeal, not because some smartasses online told me that they can kill me. If someone tells me not to sit in front of computer so much because it's unhealthy, I'll tell them to piss off. I'm 20, I don't need a babysitter. I'm not a piece of meat whose sole purpose is to exist as a clump of meat solely for the benefits of industries and governments.

It might even improve attention and focus enough to qualify as a cognitive enhancer. And, oh yeah, its long been associated with weight loss, with few known safety risks.Nicotine isn't really any worse than caffeine, in small amounts it's found naturally in potatoes, tomatoes, and eggplants. Breathing in toxic smoke just isn't the best form of nicotine medical treatment.
