Hearing Dear Lover -- Foo Fighters
Another piece of data to help you give up those smokes:
People who smoke are more likely to develop Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia than people who have quit or have never smoked, Dutch researchers reported on Sunday.
Smokers over the age of 55 were 50 percent more likely to develop dementia than similar nonsmokers, Dr. Monique Breteler of Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, Netherlands, and colleagues found.
Writing in the journal Neurology, Breteler and colleagues said they followed nearly 7,000 people age 55 and older for an average of seven years. Over that time, 706 of the people developed dementia.
I always said you'd have to be nuts to smoke.
More seriously, it amazes me the raft of health problems that crop up because of smoking. Now, a cogent question is whether we keep finding all these health risks related smoking because it's an activity that gets researched more than other activities, and the answer is: oh, probably. Doesn't change the fact it's a messed-up habit.
