Arguments FOR THE BENEFITS OF smoking?I am writing a research paper. The general point is that the people should have the right to smoke, it is a personal choice and a private matter, and the government should not be allowed to restrict either public or private use of tobacco products in anyway. For 'subtopics' or whatever I have 1) the therapeutic effects of nicotine/cigarettes and the exaggerated health risks that are shown by the media, and that is pretty much it. I am thinking about pulling something from the constitution about how the government isn't allowed to interfere in the private lives of citizens or something like that, but what exactly? Is there like, a legal precedent where the government tried to outlaw something like that and failed? What case was it? What other arguments could I use to support this idea?
And please, don't just answer to go on and on about how I am so wrong to be thinking this and smoking is horrible for you and is in no way good, at all, it should be outlawed completely, blah blah blah. 'Kay, thanks.

I smoke, nothing hardcore but I get a good 5 ciggs in a day on average.
I can't think of any benefits other than the fact that it relaxes me and helps me think things through.

It clinicly calms smokers down (but it is only really because they get stressed more easily if they haven't had a cigarette)

Prohibition of alcohol was pretty much a failure. Other than that, I can't think of any reason why smoking is good for you. The rights of the smoker ends when it infringes on the rights of the non-smoker. It is the individuals choice, but they do not have the right to make others choose smoking via secod hand smoke. The health risks are not exagerated, and there is no therapeutic use-Nicotine is a poison and nicotinic acid is in many pesticides.

Therapeutic tobacco use does not exist. It does help calm nerves when going into or out of a stressful situation but it should be noted the use needs to stop as you would with a drug you are taking for a specific condition. Example, you do not take antibiotics after the infection is taken care of.

There are no benefits from smoking. That's why you can't think of any!
Smoking is for losers who don't like themselves!
Make it easy on yourself and pick another topic for your research paper.
