Guest guest Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 There isn't enough research to make me think smoking is a good idea, nor is there enough to make me stop bugging my son to quit!

Cigarette smoke can prevent allergies, says studyEveryone knows that smoking can kill you, but a new study suggests that it may help you combat allergies.A study of mouse cells shows that cigarette smoke can prevent allergies by decreasing the reaction of immune cells to allergens.Smoking can cause lung cancer, pulmonary disease, and can even affect how the body fights infections. But along with many harmful effects, smoking cigarettes has a surprising benefit - they can protect smokers from certain types of allergies.A study recommended by Neil Thomson, a member of Faculty of 1000 Biology and leading expert in respiratory medicine, demonstrates that cigarette smoke decreases the allergic response by inhibiting the activity of mast cells, the major players in the immune system's response to allergens.Researchers at Utrecht University (Netherlands) found that treatment of mast cells with a cigarette smoke-infused solution prevented the release of inflammation- inducing proteins in response to allergens, without affecting other mast cell immune functions, said an Utrecht release.The mast cells used in the study were derived from mice, but it is likely that the same anti-allergy effect will hold true in humans.These findings were published in the journal of Clinical and Experimental Allergy. / silicosis / 4-08 / east Texas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 It doesn't sound right to me. Also, I like the fact that I smell better, my house is cleaner and I can just imagine how much worse my breathing would be if I still smoked. This Sept. it'll be 5 years.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 It's probably a case of Choose Your Poison"....I do note that this IS Dutch Research...HA! The Dutch are HUGE smokers...they are great at rationalising....mice are very obliging...mmmmmmmmmmmmmm I now wonder why I have such bad allergy problems all my life in spite of living in a permanent cloud of my mother's cigarette smoke...followed by many years of exposure to my Dutch father-in-law's ciggie smoke ...added to working in a small office while teaching with a fellow chain smoker....... Isn't it a basic law of Physics or summat that for everything positive there is an inverse equal negative reaction... & vice versa! therefore........Believe whatever you like, as long as it suits you!
