In earlier posts there was a thread on the effect of Nicotine. If anything, this appears to be one of the few examples when Nicotine seems to be beneficial as a Neuroprotective agent against Parkinson's. As I said there was some discussion on this topic before on the list I just checked using Google under / "Parkinson's Disease" and Nicotine / and I got 16,700 entries with the first few about the neuroprotective qualities of nicotine. If you add the word "neuroprotective" you get 606 entries, with even an article referenced by the PDF (Parkinson's Disease Foundation) K. F.
