Smokers have lower IQ's than those who abstain, with intelligence decreasing the more one smokes, according to researchers. A study of 20,000 men aged 8 to 21, revealed that the IQ's of smokers averaged 94- lower than non-smokers on 101. The study, reported in the journal Addiction, also measured the effect in twins. In the case where one twin smoked, the non-smoking twin registered a higher IQ than average.

One driver here, on 60-80 a day is pretty close to special needs...

Not sure where you stand, but completely sure you have a better chance of continuing to stand by not smoking.

I believe it. And I have an IQ of 148.

But if you need proof of the undeniable evidence that smoking is bad for you, and your brain, and for all those that stand within 5000 metres of you, check out the several posts on here where smokers who could have got away with a fixed penalty notice end up paying 10 times as much in court.

Decimal point in the wrong place, that should be 14.8
