Agreed somewhat, good parents don't want their children to be harmed/die before them.
of the 1000 people maybe 50 of them ended up smoking 4+ times a week? I do think there is a link between children smoking and getting bad grades, but causality from smoking? I don't know.

Yeah I disagree, the effects don't last that long for me.
You think that this study will extend to adults then?
Is feeling dumb the same as being dumb?
