Nicotine and me will be together till the end…I’ve known that since I was 20. Sure, I’ve moved from Cigarettes to cigars years ago. And instead of smoking one cigarette every 30 minutes, I smoke a cigar every other evening. Still, it’s the nicotine that I love so much. Well, it turns out it may not be so bad for you:
From Wired:
Nicotine acts on the acetylcholine receptors in the brain, stimulating and regulating the release of a slew of brain chemicals, including seratonin, dopamine and norepinephrine. Not surprisingly, the first scientific work that identified these chemicals and how they affect the body came out of nicotine research — much of it performed by tobacco companies.
Also, this study shows smoking wards off Parkinson’s disease.
Chalk one up (finally!) for nicotine…
