Smoke 'em if you got 'em.



Interesting.

'Epidemiological studies have hinted at nicotine's therapeutic potential. During the 1980s, several found that smokers had lower rates of Parkinson's disease than nonsmokers.

Epidemiologists also validated what many mental health practitioners have long noticed: The smoking rate among people with schizophrenia, depression, and anxiety disorders is far higher than average. It's widely believed that people with certain mental health problems are self-medicating with cigarettes because the nicotine helps their minds function better.'
