For what it's worth, there are some valid medicinal uses. For some the risk of ulcerative colitis is reduced & it also interferes with the development of Karposi's Sarcoma, pre-eclampsia, & breast cancer. It also interferes with the development of atopic disorders like allergic asthma. Also the risk of Parkinson's & Alzheimers may be twice as high for non-smokers.

Nicotene in the tobacco causes several chemicals to be released in the brain: acetylcholine, norepinephrine, dopamine, and beta-endorphins. This is the stress relief you are referring to.
The act of smoking as well as the effects of nicotene usually lead to decreased appetite, which can help with weight loss.
The release of acetylcholine increases concentration and memory recall/input.

I have heard that a little moist chewing tobacco can draw the poison out of insect stings. That's about the only medicinal use I have heard of and that's from country folk not a medical journal.
