Becky, Other than a few cigarettes in college, I am a non-smoker. I work
in a smoke-free office and I married a non-smoker. I grew up w/non-smoking
parents.
A good friend of mine who is trying to quit smoking, noted when helping me
research pd when I was first diagnosed, that smokers seem to be less likely
to have pd. Was this anything Nancy Maher found in her PD Genetic Study?

To all of you who have responded to my earlier questions, I have one more
question to add to the survey:
Did the PWP smoke cigarettes before they were diagnosed?
This was suggested by Nancy Maher, director of another PD Genetic Study. A
huge thanks goes out to everyone who has helped!!
