LOL.

Yesterday I kept Liyana company while she was running some errands.

So anyways, while we were at Takaful at Menara Maybank in Bangsar, and while waiting for her to take out money, I sat and read the NST and then I caame across this article.

STUDY: SMOKERS HAVE LOWER IQs THAN NON-SMOKERS

For those who are too lazy to read the short article, basically it states that:

• Young men who smoked a pack of cigarettes a day or more had IQ scores 7.5 points lower than non-smokers
• The average IQ for non-smokers was about 101, while it was 94 for men who had started smoking before entering the military.
  
• IQ steadily dropped as the number of cigarettes smoked increased, from 98 for people who smoked one to five cigarettes daily to 90 for those who smoked more than a pack a day.
  
• IQ scores from 84 to 116 are considered to indicate average intelligence.
• The researchers also compared IQs for 70 pairs of brothers in the group in which one brother smoked and the other did not. Again, average IQs for the non-smoking sibling were higher than for the smokers.

And the best bit of the article is the conclusion:

The findings suggest that lower IQ individuals are more likely to choose to smoke, rather than that smoking makes people less intelligent, Weiser and his team conclude.

No offense to smokers, but that last bit is So.Bloody.Funny. I almost laughed out loud when I read that part.

And then Liyana and I realised that we might be dating idiots. Which makes us the idiots.
