I have read a couple of articles that indicate Nicotine works
simarlerly to Dopamine in the brain, and that it may offer some protection
to the brain, delaying the onset of PD. The information I offered, was just
to answer Caryle's questionnaire. I don't believe second hand smoke caused
my PD. If any thing I would blame my exposure to heavy amounts of welding
rod fumes.
Sincerely
Chris
