Default Re: Smoking fights Parkinson's?

It does say that there was only a 41% improvement... then later in the article it mentions a possible link to pesticides as a cause.

Just thought the article was interesting... even if incomplete.

Still... lighting up another cigar.

Dad was a pipe smoker for at least 35 years. 2 or 3 bowls a day.

Parkinson's diagnosed in 1997. Passed in 2005.

Nice to hear baccy getting a positive spin, though.
