Its in the early stages of testing but nicotine can be used for medical purposes (mainly the patch, but still)

"The [Science] paper was in every newspaper around the world--it was unbelievable," Role says. The researchers used buzzwords such as "turning up the volume" to describe the way that nicotine increases a person's ability to focus and pay attention.

guess it really does help to smoke while you do a paper

I can hardly do them without it.

i agree that nicotine can help someone focus more, maybe calm nerves better. however i do think a dependency of nicotine is probably harmful in the longrun. good thing hookah doesnt release too much of it.

Yeah... Last two essays I submitted for my courses:
-Written while smoking: A-
-Written in the library (not smoking): C+

I think the data is pretty conclusive here. Wish I could smoke while writing my final exams

Drink caffiene too, that'll get your synapsis snapping.

This is the one and only reason why I prefer take-home exams.

why do you think the US gave out smokes in WW2? to keep our boys sharp and on their toes.

More like 8.o GPA

How? Don't ask me!

Its established, but not well publicized, due nicotine's connection with tobacco and cigarettes, that nicotine speeds up function of the brain.

I actually smoked while writing a couple of papers and did notice a difference as far as focus and concentration go... interesting, I just thought it was because I had something to occupy my time while I was forming my thoughts, never knew it might actually have been helping! Cool.

You could buy patches. I think I might do that for finals week.

I agree. While writing my last paper, I couldn't actually organize my thoughts and put words on the page until I set my hookah up next to the laptop. Once I got some Tangiers Peach Iced Tea started, I had a nice little paper finished in no time.

that will be the new trend, college/high school kids buying patches for their finals. i could see it on the news in a few years.

I have finals in two weeks and, believe me, after reading this the thought crossed my mind.
