    RE: " which might explain"

    Research dollars can affect what researchers say...along with publish
    or perish.

    Bleeding edge research can bring about "fake" science...

    Of the more than 1 million Americans who join Alcoholics Anonymous
    (AA), almost all drink coffee and close to 60 percent smoke,
    Vanderbilt University researchers report.

    ...
    "Normally, coffee drinking and cigarette smoking go together," said
    lead researcher Dr. Peter R. Martin, director of the Vanderbilt
    Addiction Center. "But recovering alcoholics tend to smoke less than
    drink coffee."

    About 90 percent drink coffee, but only about 60 percent smoke
    cigarettes, Martin said. "That's interesting disassociation between
    the two behaviors," he said.
