Guest Post Courtesy of the Xtend-Life Blog

An article we published some time ago about smoking (http://www.xtend-life.com/Blog/11-09-21/The_Health_Benefits_of_Smoking.aspx) has generated a lot of interest.

Some other recent medical studies into the effects and mechanisms of smoking are covered below.
