Study Finds It's Still Fucking Stupid to Stand Around Smokers

So, apparently, the intrepid scientists of our great nation have discovered yet another reason for you not to inhale that second-hand smoke: Alzheimers and dementia. As if they needed a study to discover that hanging out with smokers makes you crazy.

"There have been studies that have shown that exposure to secondhand smoke is related to subclinical cardiovascular disease and clinical cardiovascular disease," Haight noted. "There also have been studies showing that atherosclerosis, hardening of the arteries, is related to an increased risk of dementia."

The current study completes the loop by showing that inhaling someone else's smoke increases the incidence of dementia, he said.

No word on whether or not ACTUALLY SMOKING the cigarettes could possibly cause these problems as well.
