(although there is some evidence that smoking staves off Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease) I'm aware of that. And it is under suspicion of causing maybe 50 others. And, yeah, correlation is not causation. OTOH, if you get enough correlation, you really do begin to think there's fire. Why worry about Alzheimer's disease? If you smoke, you won't make it far enough for that to be a problem anyway. :-) Statistically, your odds do drop. I have never, EVER said that smoking is a healthy indulgence Then quit. :-) I have little doubt that you can find studies these days where the anti-smoking forces are lying. OTOH, the tobacco companies used to claim it was a healthy habit! I'm particularly suspicious of the claims made about second-had smoke. I have a strong feeling there's a lot of politics mixed in with the numbers. If I'm wrong, well, time will tell. Yeah. YOU just won't be around to know it.
