Well, we all knew it was coming sooner or later

Fascinating, but not very surprising:
Nicotine could soon be rehabilitated as a treatment for schizophrenia, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, as well as hyperactivity disorders.
Research shows that the chemical that has addicted millions to smoking has a powerful impact on brain activity in patients who suffer from psychiatric and degenerative disorders.
Some experiments have shown that nicotine can slow down the onset of Parkinson's symptoms; others have had revealed its power in curtailing the hallucinations of schizophrenics.


That's all we need... a bunch of crazies smokin' up a storm! It's getting to the point where everyone we do is both good and bad for us. Moderation I say, everything in moderation!
