Do you think that Bells palsey can be linked to weed?
in any case i have ever heard of someone getting this is when the person is a smoker.

Bells palsey is when one side of your face loses muscle control and you look like a stroke victim for a few days....there is no cure and it will correct itself in about a week.

not sure if i spelled the disease correctly.

no....this affects only the face, and only one side....but cerebral palsy is totally different

gotcha.

It doesn't say a thing about it being related to smoking. It would make more sense that cerebral palsy has to do with smoking since it has to do with a lack of oxygen in the brain but Bells isn't a result of a lack of oxygen but it does say you can get it from alcoholism. I don't know why I'm rewriting this if it's all in the link, just check it out for yourself.
