Not exactly an authoritative source, but nevertheless interesting. Scroll down to Item 2. ============================= Often referred to as “Smoker’s Paradoxes”, there are a number of therapeutic uses of nicotine or smoking. For example, smokers are less likely to need surgery to provide extra blood to their heart after an angioplasty, the risk of ulcerative colitis is reduced, and it even interferes with the development of Kaposi’s sarcoma (a type of cancer of the lymphatic endothelium). Perhaps most surprisingly, is that there are connections to smoking and a reduction in allergic asthma. There is also a large body of evidence to suggest that smokers have a dramatically reduced risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s Disease. Nicotine is currently being investigated as a treatment for ADHD, and Schizophrenia. Interesting Fact: Tobacco smoking has been a practice of humans since at least 5000 BC. ====================== http://listverse.com/health/top-10-things-that-are-surprisingly-good-for-you/[ Auf dieses Posting antworten ]
