Generally recognized as safe does not mean it's a good idea to take something for 40+ years. If you did a 3 year in depth study on new, mild smokers (under 4 per day), it would probably look safe.

You're right, it could turn out to be a horrible idea. Based on the compounds involved and how they work in the body, I don't think so, but please do your own research as to its safety and efficacy, don't take my word for it.
