i hope soon.
 
 though, i must say.  the smell of smoke mixed with whatever perfume i was wearing the night i was at the club that sticks on my clothes through a couple of washes IS quite nostalgic.  
 
 but not getting lung cancer is a better trade off. i 'd say.

The positive effects of smoking:
 
 

 * Nicotine increases alertness. This may enhance concentration, thinking and learning. This may be a benefit to people with schizophrenia whose illness or medication leads to cognitive problems.
 
 * Nicotine can help relaxation, and it can also reduce negative feelings such as anxiety, tension and anger. So smoking may help people with mental illness deal with stressful situations.
 
 * Nicotine might have an antidepressant effect. Nicotine stimulates dopamine production in part of the brain and so may help negative symptoms of schizophrenia, such as lack of motivation, lack of energy and flat mood.
 
 * Nicotine may reduce positive symptoms, such as hallucinations for a short period.
 
 * There is some evidence to suggest that smoking is associated with reduced levels of antipsychotic induced Parkinsonism.
 
 * Smoking can help to relieve boredom and provide a framework for the day.
 
 * Smoking can improve social interaction, something that may be of particular benefit to people with negative symptoms.

 Have you seen me smoke somewhere?  Was it in a bar, after several drinks?  Because that's the only time I'll touch a cigarette.
