Is there an evolutionary reason behind smoking?

Yeah, not for humans though

This.
Organisms will do anything to stay alive and reproduce. Humans and animals fuck, and that makes sense.
But for example, Cannabis grows, waits to be eaten by a buffalo, who then passes out stoned, to be eaten by a vulture, which flies away and shits out the seeds to a well-fertilized environment somewhere else.
The common Marlboro, Nicotiana tabacum, also has the need to fill the world with its descendants. Hummingbirds love that shit and coincidentally, humans too. We just don't eat the plant obsessively and shit out the seeds.

Yes, it's a pathetic display of conformism and low resistance to very basic forms of peer pressure.

Some have theorized that the nicotine gives a cognitive boost that helps ppl concentrate, work harder to earn for their families.

Really though, it just hijacks the pleasure centers and entices us into an easily accessible dopamine surge compared to being actually happy, which is often harder to do.... sadly
