They chose 1000 people at random who've never smoked during pre-teens and then followed up during adulthood

An IQ of 100 is average.
108 isn't exactly impressive.
For anyone who wants to know if there was a control group, it's a generally accepted fact that IQ scores are supposed to increase slightly with age. At least that's what Wikipedia said when I read about it.

IQ of 100 to 92 is a pretty big leap. And the control group were the people who never smoked, of which their IQ's raised or stayed the same
