Yes, it will help you calm down and think.

When I was 15 I was diagnosed and took Atomoxetine for ADHD. I honestly think I did more damage in those 6 months taking Stratera than I did in my year of smoking.

Anyway, I picked up smoking as an alternative, as it's less harmful to your career prospects than taking a psycho-theraputic drug (Most people don't like putting someone who's on drugs in a cockpit).

Long story short, smoking did more to change my personality and demeanor than perscrip drugs ever did. I matured, was able to think clearly, became more relaxed, etc. One thing that didn't really change was my short attention span for things I wasn't interested in, but I think everyone has that problem. I was however able to concentrate and practically immerse myself in things (Classes, activities, etc) that did interest me.

Anyway, I guess what you have to decide is if the risks are worth the benefits. It's doubtful that smoking for a year is going to give you cancer, but it's possible, and even more possible is the risk for addiction. I was on about 3 cigarettes a day for a year, and I quit cold turkey, but not everyone's the same.

P.S.: And nothing beats having coffee and cigarettes in the morning.

Trust me I'm a doctor.

You're obviously just lucky you're not addicted. (though who really knows what damage has been done). People who start smoking usually don't stop. That's why tobacco companies make money.
