What are the positive benefits of smoking?

What are the positive benefits of smoking?The revenue generated by taxes on tabacco is less than the costs of treating diseases directly caused by smoking and the 'relaxing' and 'socially stimulating effects' can be provided by substitutes with much less negative effects. This isn't a rant but a serious question: What, if any, are/is the positive(s) benefit of smoking?
By the way I don't smoke (never have, never will) but just want to see if any smoker at all can defend their habit.
I stress the point that the benefit must be something which could not be done without smoking.
