I don't know Ray. My Goddaughter worked in PD research with primates and she said yes, nicotine is neuro-protective; however, you have to have so much of it that you would vomit. I'm 62 and smoked since I was 13, regularly since about 18 with a period of 6 1/2 years; five months and nine months quit. Didn't seem to help me. I have now quit again for nine months. As I recall Michael J. Fox was a heavy smoker. I think I read four packs a day in his younger years. Don't know about now but it didn't seem to help him either.
