Well, that's interesting! I quit smoking in 2002 so it's starting to get a little fuzzy, but I remember that coffee did seem to hit a lot harder without the smokes.

One thing I do recall quite clearly is getting dumber after quitting smoking. My memory dropped, I had a hard time memorizing or focussing on things at work. I seemed to think slower for months. It was quite a while before I felt normal.

I think 2002 was when I was in pharmacy school learning about this drug interaction for the first time 😂 I might have to take a look at some of the other cognitive enhancing drugs after I finish this series.
