The nicotine patch designed to help people quit smoking can also improve memory in older adults with mild cognitive impairment, or MCI, a small clinical trial found.

The trial involved 67 non-smokers with MCI, which is considered an intermediate between normal aging and dementia. People with MCI are more likely to develop Alzheimer's disease.

Can I just eat tobacco in fistfulls instead?

Yup any way you can get the nicotine in your blood. This research has been ongoing for about 15 years by different researchers but has been known unofficially for about 30 years.

Got family members developing Alzheimer's disease? Stick 'em on the patch and have them read a lot.

Bullshit. Those patches make people forget to smoke.

:1orglaugh

Thats a good thing I guess.

I miss nicotine ...

because its a moronic thing to publish.. people read that and will use that as an excuse to never stop smoking, then they find out that lung cancer and emphysema is just as bad or a worse way to go..

So cigarettes are good for your health? Cool.

The latest study say that Nicotine Patch doesn't do jack shit for you when it comes to getting you of the cig.
