Smoking Cigarettes: Good (!?)


Researchers at the University of Florida have come up with a surprising Good News story for smokers.  Smoking cigarettes improves self-control, they have decided.   The people they tested were all smokers, of course, so perhaps this story is not quite as positive as it may seem.  People who really, really like cigarettes and who feel a little stressed after prolonged periods of no cigarettes, are then seen to demonstrate improved self-control after smoking a cigarette.

Nice try University of Florida, but back to the drawing board please.
