seems that there may be benefits to smoking...contrary to past info, it turns out that nicotine, the reasons us smokers keep smoking, is not all bad...studies show that smokers are less likely to get alzheimers, and parkinsons...seems that nicotine can also lessen the impact of clinical depression...i knew there was a good reason i started smoking...anything that help lessen depression is a good thing in my life, and as my grandmother has severe alzheimers, and getting that scares the shit out of me, lessening the odds of getting it also make me happy...my grandmother never smoked, not that i think that's why she got it, but but i would take dying of cancer anyday over slowly losing my mind...maybe i should start chewing nicotine gum to boost my daily intake more...heh...have to think that one over.
Posted by Angstman at January 5, 2004 03:00 PM | TrackBackHate to bust your bubble there, but nicotine is still also the most addictive substance on the planet, second-hand smoke still makes people sick, smoking is still the leading cause of emphysema and one of the leading causes of cancer. It's also a filthy, disgusting habit that's very expensive and smells like shit.
With all that being said, glad to see you back. :-)
