What happens to your body when you die?
What do you say when your brain stops working?

Now-a-days we have nicotine gum and nicotine patches
which will still mess up your circulation and nerves but which
do not require ingestinon of smoke to calm your cravings.

I quit in April 1970. I am considerably fitter than most of my
(surviving) contemporaries and my brain seems to use bubble-sort to
recal stuff but it mostly finds it faster than a hospital appointment.
So the answer appears to be that it survives longer and more healthily.

I should add that I take 3mg of boron daily to help stave off arthritis.
It seems to be working. I also take vitamin 3D and E per Public Health
England's advice of about 4 years ago.
