P.S. Note the awe-inspiring lack of smugness with which I present:

IMPAIRED ACTION OF THYROID HORMONE ASSOCIATED WITH SMOKING IN WOMEN WITH HYPOTHYROIDISM

BEAT MÜLLER , M.D., HENRYK ZULEWSKI , M.D., PETER HUBER , P H .D., JOHN G. RATCLIFFE , M.D., AND JEAN -JACQUES STAUB , M.D.

I bloody said it would turn out to be the reason smoking's bad for you, didn't I? And at the same time it's evidence that acquired hormone resistance exists, and this one fingers an environmental cause.
