I wonder if this means I’ve gotten smarter over the years? :D

>> The average IQ for non-smokers was about 101, while it was 94

Yet, the murdering professor apparently has an IQ of 180. Twice is smart - yet, infinitely more idiotic.

Seems to me that smoking saves lives.

All I know is I went the other way. When I quit smoking (cold turkey), I turned into a mouth breather. I developed the attention span of a gerbil. Coherent lengthy conversation with me was impossible. It was so bad my wife hauled me into the doctor’s office, “Look at him! He’s a vegetable!” Turns out nicotine was the only thing that kept those synapses firing like spark plugs in Ferrari. On the up side I’m more easily amused now, and I’ll live longer.

I'm not going to argue with their well-researched claim.

“Cigarette smokers have lower IQs than non-smokers, and the more a person smokes, the lower their IQ,”

Or, maybe, the lower the IQ, the more they smoked?

I smoked 2 or 3 packs a day for 40 years. Quit cold turkey (the ONLY way to quit) in 1999.

I guess I’m in big trouble.

I don’t believe it. I don’t trust the no-smoking police to tell the truth.

These are the same people who lie about second-hand-smoke.
