Benefits of smoking cigarettes?
My girlfriend has threatened to break up with me several times now unless I cut down to a pack a week. I'm not addicted but it does help me get through my day. I keep trying to tell her that but she doesn't believe me and keeps saying that it's actually bad. I want to prove to my girlfriend that smoking cigarettes is actually good for you so that she can stop judging me over it but I can't find any info online to back that up. Can anyone help me find some resources that list the health benefits of cigarettes? Like how nicotine kills germs or anything like that?

The difference is people have been smoking tobacco and pot for centuries with no issues.
Actually, people have been smoking pot and tobacco for millenia. Moses saw God in a burning bush, do you think that bush was lavender?
But when your life expectancy is 50, odds are something else will get you before the cancer and lung failure do. Life expectancy now is over 80. That's 30 extra years for all that tar in your lungs to bring you to your knees.
how is tobacco worse than pot, they're both burning plants. Is pot smoke magically more safe than tobacco smoke?
Because pot doesn't have nicotine and nicotine is carcinogenic. Tobacco also has several other carcinogenic substances that are not present in most other plants. Not all leaves are created equal.
But you're right, both are burning plants, which means both coat the inside of your lungs with tar. Best to avoid smoking them.
