smoking

physically speaking, does smoking do anything positive to the body?

Yes:
"(1) positive reinforcement [it makes you feel good], (2) negative reinforcement [it may keep you from feeling bad], (3) reduction of body weight [by reducing appetite and increasing metabolic rate], (4) enhancement of performance, and protection against: (5) Parkinson's disease, (6) Tourette's disease [tics], (7) Alzheimer's disease, (8) ulcerative colitis and (9) sleep apnea."

It's the nicotine that's postulated to do those things. The smoking part is irrelevant so in fact smoking in itself does nothing positive for you.
