The German magazine “Helpraxiscent” explained that a recent study in which the Washington University School of Medicine participated, proved that there is a strong relationship between daily smoking and shrinking brain size.
The test included about 3,100 people. Their brain size was determined using imaging methods. Experts concluded that brain volume shrinkage increases in people who smoke on a daily basis.
The study showed that the more participants smoked daily, the greater the decrease in brain size.
The study explains these results by saying that smoking leads to the loss of brain tissue, and this may be a reason for smokers to fall into groups at risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease or the decline in cognitive and perceptual abilities associated with aging.
When a person stops smoking, the loss of more brain mass is frozen, but at the same time the brain will not return to its size again, so smoking is closely linked to premature brain aging.
