[I cannot think of a name]

My Dad died of complications related to Parkinson’s. Turns out it is one of the strangest illnesses in the world. Parkinson’s almost seems to prevent cancer - except for melanoma - which is worse in Parkinson patients. And according to my Dad's main doctor, there is a vaccination against Parkinson’s - smoking. He said in more than twenty years he could only remember one smoker with Parkinson’s.

Not sure smoking is worth all the other risks, but there are apparently a few good things that come from it.

I actually wish the Doctor hadn't told us that, because my Mom had convinced my Dad to give up smoking right after they were married. You can imagine how that made her feel.

Smoking probably isn’t worth the risk. But nicotine ingested in some other fashion may very well be.
