Well, I DO remember to always charge my batteries. LOL

Nicotine Linked to Enhanced Memory | Popular Science
Big Pharma wants to make a nicotine-like pill to treat conditions. Nicotine will be labeled a medicine. It will be prescribed by doctors. Doctors who treat smokers will prescribe either NRT sources from Big Pharma, or the nicotine-like pill to treat specific patient conditions.By studying which chemical interactions with nicotine result in which effects, the researchers hope to develop drugs similar to nicotine that provide the benefits without the negative side effects. With that goal of a nicotine-like pill for focus and memory hanging in the future, it is safe to say the many health risks of smoking still far outweigh any cognitive benefits of nicotine.
The papers said that people who inherit the variation from one parent have a 30% greater chance of getting lung cancer. Those who inherit the variation from both parents face an increased risk of 70% to 80%.
The discovery might help explain why some smokers don’t get lung cancer and why some occasional smokers don’t become addicted, researchers said.
Anecdotal, probably apocryphal, but I've heard the following story a number of times over the last few years:
The development of Parkinsons, Alzheimers and Dementia could be ......ed by smoking. This is because the dendrites of the brain get furred, which interferes with synaptic processes. Nicotine lodges in the brain, and being an oily substance, inhibits the fuzziness from forming.
As I say, this is anecdotal (I have no idea if 'brain fuzz' exists) and reads like the case for the defence, but I put it up in case anyone has similar stories or maybe a source.
Emp
can induce cognitive impairments in the offspring of smoking mothers from oxidative cellular injury.
nicotine definitely helps the ADHD focus...
