You are right - tobacco especially smoking is not healthy - congrats for cutting down to 2 cigs/week. Nicotine as a drug is not used for much. The only thing I've heard where it had a good effect was with people who had ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease. Both are genetic inflamatory auto immune diseases of the colon and digestive tract.

SMOKING NEVER BE SAFE
stop completely and you may i say may get away with your previous smoking
Tobacco Smoking: By far the most important risk factor is tobacco smoking. More than 80% of Mesotheliomas(lung cancer) are thought to result from smoking. The longer a person has been smoking and the more packs per day smoked, the greater the risk. If a person stops smoking before a cancer develops, the damaged lung tissue starts to gradually return to normal. Even after ten years, the ex-smoker's risk still does not equal the lower risk of a person who never smoked. However, an ex-smoker's risk is about half the risk of people who continue to smoke.
