Neuro info: Parkinson's Disease is a degenerative defect in the Substantia Nigra, a part of the brain which is highly dependent on dopamine. As many of you know, tremors is one major problem for the afflicted. But it doesn't end there.
Many with heavily progressed degeneration have trouble initiating movement. So if you see a pensioner lingering at the crosswalk, don't honk your horn at them. This could literally kickstart them out into traffic, right in front of a car.
[QUOTE=Water-Marine;40585763]Correct me if I read this wrong, but it's basically stating that small amounts of nicotine are healthy when ingested?[/QUOTE]
yeah probably
Nicotine isn't the unhealthy part of smoking, its the burning of leaf matter and by-products thereof being inhaled.
Nicotine isnt dissimilar from caffeine really, unfortunately its strong association with smoking means it wont find a market in western culture outside of smoking - as opposed to say, japan, where you can literally buy nicotine energy drinks from any given vending machine.
