They note that several studies have shown that smoking actually cuts Parkinson's risk, possibly due to brain-cell-protecting properties of nicotine.

I never heard that before. Funny, now there's a good reason for people to smoke! Not that I'm going to start smoking any day now....

I would, if my lungs were up to it.

I didn't want to quit...I had to.

No need to take up smoking, just use nicotine patches.
