Smoking vs. Parkinson's

[moraldeficiency]

"The more you've smoked, the less likely you are to get Parkinson's, according to pooled data from 11 studies. Findings: 1) People who quit 25 years prior to diagnosis were 13 percent less likely than nonsmokers to get Parkinson's; those who continued to smoke were 32 percent less likely. 2) "Men who smoked pipes or cigars had a 54 percent lower risk." 3) Tobacco chewers also showed "a suggestion of reduced risk." Theories: 1) Smoking-related chemicals such as "nicotine or carbon monoxide exert a protective effect." 2) "A premorbid personality influences smoking behavior among those who later develop Parkinson's disease." Unwarranted conclusions: 1) Smoke, it's good for you. 2) Stop persecuting smokers; the incipient Parkinson's is making them do it."
