Not exactly an authoritative source, but nevertheless interesting.
Scroll down to Item 2.

=============================

Often referred to as “Smoker’s Paradoxes”, there are a number of
therapeutic uses of nicotine or smoking. For example, smokers are less
likely to need surgery to provide extra blood to their heart after an
angioplasty, the risk of ulcerative colitis is reduced, and it even
interferes with the development of Kaposi’s sarcoma (a type of cancer
of the lymphatic endothelium). Perhaps most surprisingly, is that
there are connections to smoking and a reduction in allergic asthma.
There is also a large body of evidence to suggest that smokers have a
dramatically reduced risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease and
Parkinson’s Disease. Nicotine is currently being investigated as a
treatment for ADHD, and Schizophrenia.

Interesting Fact: Tobacco smoking has been a practice of humans since
at least 5000 BC.
