  „However, the new work, detailed in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, suggests that smokers may even be reducing the damage if they consume coffee as well. The number of non-coffee drinkers looked at here is quite small, and there could be other things going on Dr Mary Berrington, Cancer Research Campaign Bladder cancer patients from five Spanish provinces were questioned about their diet, smoking habits, coffee consumption and other factors. Non-coffee drinkers who smoked were compared to those who both drank coffee and smoked. For smokers, the effect of drinking coffee was roughly to halve the extra risk created by their habit.“

  „This may help to explain why women often feel more sensitive to coffee in the latter stages of pregnancy, or why heavy smokers are usually heavy coffee drinkers as well. Some of the effects of caffeine, such as those on the heart and blood vessels, are contradictory and have no net effect - others may only be noticeable when regular consumers suddenly cut out caffeine. The body can become habituated to caffeine so that regular users are less sensitive to the stimulant effects than others. In fact, people tend to regulate their coffee consumption according to their experience - as many cups of coffee in the morning as they find give a pleasant, stimulating effect - perhaps none a few hours before going to bed.“
