Men who smoke are dumb?

Apparently nicotine makes the brains of women who smoke it behave more like men:

I'm not sure they meant to say this but the study "found that one of the drug's major effects was to make women's brains work more like men's."

And then, "When the subjects were given nicotine, these differences diminished greatly: brain metabolism decreased among women and increased in men."

So effectively they're saying that when women's brains slow down, they're more like men's....

Well I am glad I quit. I wouldn't want to start acting like a man.
