Thanks for posting Newsbot. Yet another reason for people who have MS to stop smoking. Someday there will be a perfect vaccine that will allow people to stop without withdrawal, maybe.

Try having your husband who is a very anti smoker in the room with you while Your Neuro is explaining that smoking accelerates your progression of MS. That was not a good day being a smoker that I am. Now it is NAG NAG NAG.... Like we dont have enough problems to worry about.

I personally think Bot hasn't smoked the right tobacco.
