The opening paragraph about a review article is golden.
This has to be a joke, especially when it said for children that can't hold cigarettes they should use a cigarette holder.
"With this in mind, smoking should be commenced at as young an age as is reasonably possible. Children who have not yet developed a pincer grasp might require modified cigarette holders, safety lighters or both."
Love it.
This belongs right up there with "Dr." Wakefield's study that the MMR vaccine is linked to autism.
A week or two ago, I did a brief bit of research into the use of nicotine as a performance enhancing drug, specifically for strength training. There wasn't lot of evidence out there and most of it was inconclusive.
