"New research reported in this week's FASEB Journal. This group's experimental animal model suggests a protective benefit of nicotine on the dopamine cells that are lost in Parkinson's. Such experimental findings support epidemiological studies that show that Parkinson's is less common in smokers. However, as it stands the harmful effects of all the toxins contained within cigarettes far outweigh any potential benefits that nicotine might have in isolation. As such, it would be against medical advice for patients and the public to start or continue smoking in attempt to protect against Parkinson's"
