My thoughts: It's probably psychological and not a response in order to quickly oxygenate your body.

Smoking makes your lungs go to shit because the body can't keep up with the crap you put in there. I don't know if the study has been done but it would be interesting to see if people who's asthma is improved with smoking are also more resistant to the negative effects of smoking. Since smoking would go against the past concept of asthma odds are it would be difficult to find enough people to give a good enough sample size. You would need people who had asthma, were properly diagnosed then started smoking all while not taking asthma medications.
I don't understand what you mean with the psychological response though.
