People used to smoke everywhere.

True, if DecadentLinuxUser meant "self-important" (which seems likely).

It's not a particularly extravagant claim. John Larkin is a remarkably gullible twit.

It wasn't long ago one of those "medical studies" reported that smoking actually helps ward off Alzheimer's. Like many others, I've long since stopped taking the slightest interest in "medical studies" for what should be obvious reasons.

Yes. Death prevents Alzheimer's.

Smoking damages the brain by messing up the blood circulation system. Alzheimer's seems to caused by accumulation of amyloid plaque between brain cells and neurofibrillary tangles within brain cells.

There's no contradiction between the two assertions. Smoking tends to kill you before you are likely to get Alzheimer's so any protection you got against Alzheimer's wouldn't be all that useful.

"This foulmouthed tough guy wannabe troll" is known, by virtually everyone on SED, as "AlwaysWrong" but only because he is.

As opposed to krw, who is known to be mostly wrong, but remains blissfully unaware of his numerous mistakes and misapprehensions.
