I have nothing to back this up, but I have heard that smoking helps keep weight under control, which while more vanity, can be a health benefit as well.

Smoking lowers the body and skin temperature so maybe if you were overheated and sweating, a smoke might offer some temporary relief. It also reduces blood flow and increases heart rate. Can't think of a real benefit to that. It wouldn't help if you were bleeding profusely and your heart was racing 'cause you'd probably succumb to a stroke or heart attack.

Nicotine speeds your metabolism rate so nutrients(food) passes through your digestive system faster so that less fat is absorbed decreasing the chance of weight gain.
However the harm that smoking can cause outways the benefits.

Smoking doesnot help in ulcerative colitis rather it wud worsen the situation by non healing on ulcers,neither it helps in wt control or constipation ,these all are excuses made by smokers.
In no way smoking is good for health.

I developed colitis after quitting smoking ; my doctor told me that they are not sure if the nicotine or lack of it protects against the manifestation of symptoms ; I have had colitis for some 21 years now and although they recommend against smoking again on days when I have flare ups I wonder if nicotine would help
