Unless tobacco cures AIDS, I don't ever see it happening. There are too many anti-tobacco groups, and there's too much money flowing through them, to ever change their perceptions; there's just too much for them to lose for them to change their minds.

This isn't new research. Links to tobacco users having lower risks of quite a few neurological disorders have been around for a while. Again, they state the obvious drawbacks of tobacco producing carcinogens. I doubt much will come of this. There's also plenty of evidence supporting people who keep their brains active (as simple as doing the daily crossword) after retirement are at a lower risk for AD. Though there is a component of many of these neurological diseases that is genetic.
