Aside from the whole destroying your heart, lungs and throat deal, nicotine is pretty beneficial in terms of weight loss and being emotionally calming. It boosts your metabolism quite a bit, which is why smokers become to addicted to that "after meal" cigarette since their body is used to getting the metabolic boost from the cigarette after eating.
But, yeah, that whole cancer thing and being unable to run a quarter mile without collapsing is kind of a deal breaker. Plus, if you want a metabolic boost, green tea, caffeine or spicy foods work pretty well.
Still, smoking tobacco in and of itself apparently is not that bad according to most research. The difference in negative health effects between a smoke in the 1600s (dried tobacco, nothing more) and a smoke today (over 9000 chemicals) are supposedly night and day.
