T 42 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-20463363 Smoking "rots" the brain by damaging memory, learning and reasoning, according to researchers at King's College London. A study of 8,800 people over 50 showed high blood pressure and being overweight also seemed to affect the brain, but to a lesser extent. Scientists involved said people needed to be aware that lifestyles could damage the mind as well as the body. I wonder if the study is valid. I always thought that folk who took up smoking in light of all the evidence must have some sort of brain dysfunction. I wonder if the scientists took this into account.

I bet they never thought of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
