Here's an interesting link.

http://news.bio-medicine.org/medicine-news-2/Nicotine-metabolite-may-improve-memory--protect-against-disease-4999-5/

It's ironic that cotinine apparently has benefits, considering the antis look for that marker in blood to prove smokers are killing everyone in their vicinity. According to the antis, we can even kill people indirectly now, just by walking through a room that non-smokers will later occupy.

After reading this link, I think we should probably start charging people who come into contact with our second and third-hand smoke, because cotinine might be improving their brain power. We smokers always knew it improved our own thinking.

This article supports my contention that anti-smokers are creating a society where enforced Puritanism extends the average lifespan to 100 years, but the last 30 years or so, we won't have minds.
