Quick - Smack me on the head!
Ok - maybe I'm just still half asleep but I saw this headline and had to stop and reread it a couple of times.
"Brain Damage Gives Clues On How To Quit Smoking With Ease"
The article goes on to say that scientists have noted that when a certain section of the brain is damanged folks can quit smoking "easily".
Really?
Well, at least they aren't tellin' me that smoking CAUSES the brain damage. I actually almost expected that one.
But I can see it now.....new "Stop Smoking" clinics popping up everywhere. Walk in, fill out your paperwork and get smacked up side the head with a cast iron skillet. Poof. You're cured.
For cryin' out loud......I wonder how much money they spent on that study.

I know my Doc said it was a serious but the only thing I notice is some numbness and weakness in my right hand and arm and that I can't remember what I had for lunch ten minutes ago.
Still, perhaps the patches had more to do with it. I do not suggest having a stroke.
