I could only read the little yahoo clip, but this sentence confuses me:
"When social and health behavior was taken into account -- factors like
education, occupation and alcohol consumption -- smoking still appeared to

Is a drop of "just" less than 1% meaningful? significant? "marginally
significant"
But then, since we only use 10% of our brains, that makes an effective 10%
