Question:
Have you heard about the new way to ward off Parkinson's Disease?
A new study now says that tobacco smokers are less likely to have Parkinson's disease. And it does not matter whether one smokes cigars, cigarettes or a pipe.
Answers:
I don't believe it. For two simple reasons, one is that the different types of tobacco have very different compositions, and if any kind of smoking helps, there would have to be a common substance that would help. Two, smoking those three types of tobacco is very different, for example cigar smoke is not inhaled, unlike cigarette. This combined with the previous reason makes it very unlikely that there is a single common element that all three can give to your body to reduce Parkinson's. The chances are just too slim. It feels like propaganda to me.
