Electronic Cigarette Tavern

I have written many articles on the dangers and detrimental consequences of smoking, but yet never really took the time to ask myself can there really be any positive effects of smoking? With millions of smokers out there has to be something good about it that keeps these people coming back for more.

Smoking kills some and leaves others seriously ill, however, there I’m sure that there has to be at least one positive effect of cigarettes that can result from this deadly habit. One very interesting benefit of smoking that I found was that more evidence has surfaced that smoking fights Parkinson’s disease. Specifically, the new research shows a temporal connection between smoking and diminished risk of Parkinson’s disease. This means that the protective effects diminish when the smoker quits.

This same study also found another positive of smoking. This time the benefit relates to restenosis, that is, the occlusion of coronary arteries. A smoker has a greater chance to survive, heal and live a fairly normal life. In addition, ‘completely’ contrary to as is accepted, the study concluded that smokers really are at a lower risk for gum disease, which I found particularly is interesting (I personally have to do more research on this before I can accept that).

Going on, it was deemed in a multivariate analysis, that children of mothers who smoked around fifteen cigarettes a day tended to have less of a chance for suffering from allergic rhino-conjunctivitis, allergic asthma, atopic eczema and food allergy, compared to children of non smoking mothers. Kids of fathers who had smoked at least fifteen cigarettes a day had a similar benefit. Children of smokers have lower asthma. Also, they found that nicotine might be a shocking option at some point in time for treating stubborn forms of tuberculosis. “The compound ceased the development of tuberculosis in laboratory tests, even when employed in small doses”, said Saleh Naser, an associate professor of microbiology and molecular biology at the University of Central Florida.

Finally, a researcher at the National Cancer Institute is going rogue by suggesting that smoking may operate as a preventative measure for developing a certain type of skin cancer that primarily attacks older men in Mediterranean regions of Southern Italy, Greece and Israel.

You really have to consider the claims made above, however. These claims have not been substantiated by any reputable body, making them somewhat illegitimate. The deadly effects of smoking are many and well documented, so for anyone to imply that it is alright to smoke knowing full well of the dangers in order to prevent other illnesses, is somewhat ridiculous.

As I anticipated I was able to find some positive effects of smoking, however I think any reasobly intelligent human being can see that these possible smoking benefits are no match in comparison the damage that smoking does to the human body. Remember also these are simply theories and very little evidence is there to back up these benefits of smoking, while the thousands of cases with negative consequences keeps piling up every year. The good in all of this is that we were able to find at least one positive effect of smoking…Put one on the board for the “cancer stick.”
