    Considering the fact that every drag you take on a cig causes brain damage, I think you are wrong.

    Oh and its a fact that cig smokers are generally dumber than non cig smokers.

    Do you have verified information to back this claim up? This is a real question and not meant to be taken as me being an asshole.

    Being a smoker myself, I don't see myself as being any smarter or dumber than a non-smoker.

One may learn something that the next person never will and vice versa not because they may or may not smoke but because no two people will learn on the same level. Everyone has their strong points and weaknesses when it comes to learning.

    This is why I pointed out that it was generally speaking. Of course not everyone is the same, but speaking in general terms, scientific research has shown smokers have a lower intelligence than non smokers and smoking causes brain damage.

    Not me. I was always a strong point when it came to learning. Everyone else was always weaker than me.

    Especially smokers. It's actually a proven fact that I'm smarter, intellectually and common sense-wise, than all smokers.
