I know one lab that studies nicotine receptors and all the scientists are smokers, and another lab that studies impulse control and they're all overweight.

My lab and academic work fill my day from about 9 am to 7 p.m. Then I zoom out the lens to work on my other writing.

There are fewer and fewer smokers every year. Also, studies show that as the prices of cigarettes go up, the sales of cigarettes decline. For every 10 percent increase, sales fall by 4 percent.

With the prefrontal cortex down-regulated, most impulse control mechanisms go offline too. For people who aren't used to this combination, the results can be expensive.

Winner never quits & quitter never wins. Not applicable to smokers and dopers

A first-rate laboratory is one in which mediocre scientists can produce outstanding work.
