My thesis:Just proofed everything,
A: Smoking - Lung cancer
You mention that "no ingredient in cigarette smoke has been shown to cause human lung cancer." That’s misleading:
pyrene, formaldehyde, arsenic, and nitrosamines, among many others in tobacco smoke, are Group 1 carcinogens (known to cause cancer in humans), per the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC).
B: Animal studies
These animal studies are short term and not long term, these studies are dated. Newer studies have genetically modified mice as models and have shown better links to lung cancer.
C: Quotes
All the quotes you mentioned are primal and come from individuals from the 1950s-1990s who were outliers in the scientific community and some had ties to tobacco industry–funded campaigns
D: Smoking benefits in radiation etc
The studies you mentioned are context specific and are small in magnitude. Although it's true that nicotine has anti-inflammatory or immunomodulatory properties, which could blunt certain reactions (e.g., radiation pneumonitis)
This is just my quick opinion, I smoke weed and tobacco somewhat regularly so I couldn't care either way. Definitely worth looking into though.
You also failed to mention the side effects of smoking, dental/oral problems, yellow fingers, cardiovascular complications from the nicotine as well as many other things
