Guest guest Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 It really is strange. There was a study that came out years ago that smoking helped ulcerative colitis, (it's not good for Crohn's, though) so they did a study on the nicotene patch and found it helped UC. I tried it, but went off because of side effects. Alana But a benefit to smoking?? This takes the cake! > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 Would it be very cynical of me to wonder who paid for the research? Did they get money from Big Tobacco? > > > > > > > info - Smoking > > > > > > Cigarette Smoking can Protect You From Allergies - > > > > > > They say smoking is injurious to health, but a new study has revealed that cigarettes can protect from allergies. > > > > > The research team from Utrecht University in the Netherlands has shown that cigarette smoke can prevent allergies by decreasing the reaction of immune cells to allergens. > > > > > > > http://www.medindia.net/news/Cigarette-Smoking-can-Protect-You-From-Allergies-51\ 383-1.htm > > > > > > > > Alana > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
