Default Nicotine Info
I noticed several expressions of interest in nicotine for PD. I tried the patches a few years back due to chest pain. Be brave but be careful. too.

Default Export "A", no filter
Anecdotal: I smoked a pack a day for 46 years. Then quit cold turkey. Two years later, PD.
No data in that; just co-incidence, but I wish I hadn't.
So I took up smoking again.

I smoke 3-4-5 cigs a day....sometimes it helps the medication to work better sometimes it doesnt. Helps with dystonia too...or so it seems at times.
