[FONT=&quot]TRUTH !![/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Many smoking opponents are outraged when it is claimed that smoking may[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]actually have some health benefits, but the data are pretty clear that[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]smoking helps to prevent many neurological diseases. No one seems to know[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]why, but it may be due to the fact that nicotine stimulates brain activity.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]There are even some cancers, such as endometrial cancer and some skin[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]cancers, that are rarer in smokers than non-smokers. The increased risk of[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]respiratory diseases and heart disease far outweighs the benefits, however,[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]and it would be foolish to pretend that smoking is good for you.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]jar of Hapi, the baboon, and Imseti, the human, guarded the liver. [/FONT]
