Snuff and memory
According to a recent study in France, smoking is not only harmful to the lungs and the cardiorespiratory system but also weakens the memory and reduced cognitive abilities.
This conclusion was a team from the National Institute of Health and Medical Research Vellejuif on the analysis of lifestyle habits of more than 4,600 people.
These participants were made to complete a regular basis, several tests in which we assessed memory, reasoning skills, vocabulary and verbal fluency.
Thus it was observed that individuals who were current smokers had poorer memory and reasoning skills than those who had never smoked in his life. Researchers also found that the risk of death was higher in smokers.
