Article is dated 2010. Reading this part was amusing to me, for some people it might make their heads explode (figuratively): "With this in mind, smoking should be commenced at as young an age as is reasonably possible. Children who have not yet developed a pincer grasp might require modified cigarette holders, safety lighters or both." My own experience is mixed. In high school, I was a cross-country runner (3 mile footrace). I was almost always just one or two positions behind the top five runners on my team (only top five score points in a meet). Many years later, I started to think that maybe my daily exposure (one or two hours) to second-hand cigarette smoke from one of my parents had something to do with me not being faster. This study seems to indicate that might not be true at all. And our fastest runner on the team (competitive at the state level) was known to be an occasional cigarette smoker. Go figure.
