New research is set to be published in the July issue of the Journal of Neurochemistry that looks
to offer yet another damning medical argument against smoking and allowing second hand smoke
in public locations. The new report finds that Tobacco smoke contains a compound which can
cause brain damage.
The new study examined NNK, a procarinogen. NNK is a toxic derivative of nicotine produced
when the chemical is cured in preparation for use in cigarettes. NNK is not found in other
smoked drugs, such as cannabis.
