buddhablessd,

Forgive me for being confused here and hope you will clarify.

You wrote that "(you)saw on the wall an article from the new england journal of med. of the findings of studies on tobacco users and mental illness. The statistics and chemical findings were indisputable."

What were the actual findings??? Could you provide the web address for the article so we can read it if we would like?

Did the NEJ find that people who suffer with MH issues are more likely to smoke - or that smoking causes MH issues?

There is a huge difference between saying smoking "causes" versus smoking is frequently the "result of" MH issues.

Thanks in advance.
