Understand how you feel Nibbler, there is soo much wrong with that article that it is difficult to know where to start the debunk.

 

especially this... "Amotivational Syndrome", which was suggested and debunked as a cannabis related problem (circa 1980). Intoxication effects are just that - intoxication.

 

If you looked at people consuming alcohol and found more violent outbursts among your sample group than in the general (sober) population, would that mean that people who drink alcohol suffer from "Agressive C.unt Syndrome"?

 

It's the same logic that has been used in the quoted survey.

Right there with you Nibbler. I rekkon, you can do everyting before having a smoke just as well as after having a smokeing. Its just that after having a smoke, I can see that all those things I thought were important before teh smoke just arent any more.
