smoking can decrease memory

One more reason why you should stop smoking immediately. Apparently, only with smoking, one third of everyday memory can be lost.

Then, when compared to someone who does not smoke, smokers are also more memory loss. This is a conclusion of research by a team from the University of Northumbria, England.

By involving more than 70 students aged 18 to 25 years, the research team also found, someone who stop smoking can restore their memory at a level that is almost the same as someone who never smoked.

During the study, students were asked to remember the little things like the music played during student events and other duties, which is a memory test. The result, student smokers is only able to remember the little things with the percentage of 59 percent. This figure is far below the results of memory tests stop smoking which reached 74 percent.

Meanwhile, someone who never smoked at all memory tests reach 81 percent. According to Doctor Tom Heffernan, who led the study, these findings will be very useful for anti-smoking campaign.
