Read a few comments on both sides, but I'd have to say that smoking does make you less intelligent. I'd guess that I'm around 10 IQ points less when I'm smoking (after around a week of smoking every day).
It also reduces my ability to concentrate, and my ability to concentrate at a stretch, since nicontine withdrawal starts around 25 minutes of having a cigarette.
I try not to make long-term decisions when I'm smoking and don't smoke when I have to be at my best (work or personal events).
If a couple of kids see this post by the OP and don't smoke or smoke less I'd say that it's worth it to have posted this.
Is it normal that I think people who smoke are mentally inferior?
