Smoking 'rots' brain, says study
The results showed that the overall risk of a heart attack or stroke was "significantly associated with cognitive decline" with those at the highest risk showing the greatest decline. It also said there was a "consistent association" between smoking and lower scores in the tests.This is a pathetic article. All of these things have been studied in great detail. There is absolutely no need for a bunch of sweeping generalizations.
Correlation does not imply causation. Say it Again. And again.
Nicotine is well documented to improve function in the frontal cortex. People smoke because their brain is not functioning properly- not the other way around. Nicotine use is a sign of pre-existing brain impairment.
