Recently, another thought occurred to me. Why did we as a species start smoking? Why, going back millennia, would anyone think it was a good idea to purposely inhale smoke?

Because before we knew anything about the dangers of smoking, all we knew is that tobacco smoke provided a mild but pleasant buzz. Not to mention that people probably smoked less frequently back in the day because tobacco companies had not yet instituted the practice of adding additive substances to cigarette tobacco.
