We already know that smoking helps with stress, and vaping seems to have the same effect.
(You should see how furiously our MD, Jean, puffs away at her e-cig when stressed, normally while bashing away at the keyboard as if it was her mortal enemy!)
Jean, our MD, with her trusty ecig.
But, according to a summary of 40 years of research into nicotine by scientists Ipsen and Kjellerup, that’s not the only benefit of smoking (and, we hope, vaping!)
How nicotine benefits you…
Here are some key points from the study (summarised – read the full study if you have time!):
Famous scientists and athletes
Perhaps it’s not surprising that many of the great brains and even athletes of both the past and the present have been heavy smokers.
The pipe-loving Einstein and cigar-aficionado Churchill immediately jump to mind, but there’s also Wayne Rooney, Gazza, Zidane and Socrates, the Brazilian captain who smoked two packets of cigarettes a day – and then became a doctor when he retired from football!
Outrageously, not only do we rarely see pictures of these people smoking, the very act of smoking is being airbrushed out of their history.
Banning cigarettes can be dangerous…
Unfortunately, when you take nicotine away from a nicotine addict, the opposite happens, with their brains potentially working 25% less effectively than those of non-smokers.
So when a smoking ban among pilots was proposed, one alarmed scientist warned:
“I would much rather climb into an airplane piloted by a chain-smoker than one piloted by a smoker deprived of cigarettes for a number of hours…”
Dr Norman Heimstra
The ban was dropped!
Smoking, nicotine and health risks
“Although pure nicotine is poisonous in large doses, there is no evidence of health risks from nicotine in the amounts in which it is consumed using tobacco.”
Unfortunately, nicotine is usually enjoyed in the form of a tobacco cigarette – which, when lit, creates hundreds of chemicals and dozens of carcinogens.
Smoking, as a result, is really bad for you.
Which is why Professor Brad Rodu states:
It is time to abandon the myth that tobacco is devoid of benefit, and to focus on how we can help smokers continue to derive those benefits with a safer delivery system.
Does vaping make your more intelligent?
Nicotine gum also helps our brains – but, curiously, not as much as smoking.
So what about vaping? Could it help? In contrast to nicotine gum it certainly addresses the psychological needs of smokers as well as delivering nicotine. But no research has yet been carried out into its effects on intelligence.
What do you think?
Here’s what we want to know:
1. When you vape, are you:
than when you are not vaping?
2. Are you:
than when you smoked?

This is a summary of the article, which I have attempted to condense so it is easy to read even if you are a smoker suffering from severe withdrawal symptoms (i.e. not in your normal super-intelligent smoker mode, but 25% stupider than a non-smoker).

Hi all!! Since I started vaping 3 months ago, and gave up analogs completely, I’ve saved roughly $600…I think that makes me very smart! Can’t wait to see the savings after one year off cigarettes!
Nice one Debbie! That should be enough for a nice holiday
I have used NJOY for just over 2 months & have not wanted a dirty cigarette since day 1,l think the product is awesome after being a smoker for 32 years!!! THANKYOU
Good to hear it, Caroline!
How about this I have smoked for 61 years and have blocked arteries which as I speak are being unblocked one by one damage done with the evil weed .
I have not smoked a cigarette in the past 5 weeks and dont even want one just had the e cig N JOY it tastes much nicer and I am much much smarter knowing I am not doing the harm to myself as I was with the evil weed .
I am now getting ones for the rest of my family and I know they will love it .
The bonus is you can vape anywhere and have it all .
so many thanks .
I am glad it makes such a difference to you, Jean!
Once upon a time, I met a very smart person who had a e-cig. I was curious about it, so they gave me the link to an e-cig forum… where I read all about them, and became smarter and smarter until I finally ordered one for myself!!
Now that I have been vaping for 8 months (after having smoked for 40 years) I can breathe easier, which allows me to take more oxygen into my lungs, and in turn pass it along to my brain… which I believe is making me even smarter still!!
So there you have it… Vaping makes you smarter than smoking!!
