LOL!
Actually, smoking keeps me broke, so that I can fully appreciate the value of money.
It also gives me something to do with my mouth while I type.
Therefore I see it as a anti-depression drug.:-)
To make it impossible to treat my illness by forbidding smoking is contrary to my health and welfare and unconstitutional!

Smoking pisses off the nanny-state types. And that makes me happy.

Yes, and shooting yourself in the head is very healthy, if you're worried about mental well-being.
"The risk of Alzheimer's disease decreased with increasing daily number of cigarettes smoked before onset of disease. . . . In six families in which the disease was apparently inherited . . . the mean age of onset was 4.17 years later in smoking patients than in non-smoking patients from the same family" (British Medical Journal, June 22, 1991). "Although more data are needed . . . [an analysis of 19 studies suggests] nicotine protects against AD" (Neuroepidemiology, 1994). Nicotine injections significantly improved certain types of mental functioning in Alzheimer's patients (Psychopharmacology, 1992). One theory: nicotine improves the responsiveness of Alzheimer's patients to acetylcholine, an important brain chemical.
Or could it be because of the fact that you'll die of lung cancer before you're old enough to develop Alzheimer's???

One cigarette, consumed slowly before a firing squad, can delay death from between 5 to 7 minutes depending on brand and length.

Cecil is great (if irreverent). Pick up his "Straight Dope" books at the library or bookstore. They're fascinating, and fun to read. He has been around for many, many years.

True story, I heard on some news broadcast in the past week that researchers are going to try using nicotine patches for early cognitive disorders (early Alzheimer's).
Years ago I read some research that the brain waves of smokers are predominantly beta waves (associated with reasoning) as opposed to non-smokers alpha waves (associated with feelings). That's if I remember correctly, which I think I do...;-D

Does Smoking have Any Health Benefits?
Sure it does. It kills airborn germs in your lungs, which will keep you from getting sick. I hear the little rascals can't stand smoke. As a bonus, drinking kills germs in your bloodstream.
I plan to live forever, so I'm doing my best to kill ALL the germs in my body!

Does Smoking have Any Health Benefits?For me, as a smoker? No.
But smoking has saved the lives of countless morons I've encountered. Sometimes the only thing standing between them and the Abyss of Infinity is the little stick of smoldering weed in my hand.

Seriously folks, I don't smoke, but I once did. I found smoking killed my appetite, and common wisdom shows smokers generally weigh less. I've always thought a huge part of America's obesity problem is that we've all quit smoking.
