Smoking Shrinks the Brain: Study Finds Startling Link to Cognitive Decline

New research from WashUMed reveals a disturbing connection between cigarette smoking and brain shrinkage, which is linked to cognitive impairment, dementia, and Alzheimer’s disease. Quitting smoking can halt further gray matter loss, but the brain doesn't fully recover. While the harmful effects of smoking on the lungs and heart are well-known, the impact on the brain warrants urgent attention.

Smoking is one of the most dangerous widespread phenomena that
threaten lives of a huge number of people worldwide. It starts as a way of
having fun, but ends as an addiction that is therefore so difficult to give
up. Today, we often hear of "smoking among students". So why do
students smoke and what are the effects that smoking has on them?
There are many reasons behind the phenomenon of smoking among
students. To start with, students smoke because they are curious and want
to discover the world of those who smoke. They are just trying to have
some fun when they smoke the first cigarette. Other students take up
smoking due to the family problems, especially when they see their
parents having quarrels. Moreover, some students smoke since they think
a cigarette would relieve stress they had during the day, especially at
school. Last but not least, students try to imitate adult smokers because
they want to show that they are adults, too.

Most drugs of abuse are addictive. Addiction is a chronic, relapsing disease characterized by compulsive drug seeking and use despite negative consequences and by long-lasting changes in the brain. People who are addicted have strong cravings for the drug, making it difficult to stop using. Most drugs alter a person’s thinking and judgment, which can increase the risk of injury or death from drugged driving or infectious diseases (e.g., HIV/AIDS, hepatitis) from unsafe s*xual practices or needle sharing. Drug use during pregnancy can lead to neonatal abstinence syndrome, a condition in which a baby can suffer from dependence and withdrawal symptoms after birth. Pregnancy-related issues are listed in the chart below for drugs where there is enough scientific evidence to connect the drug use to negative effects. However, most drugs could potentially harm an unborn baby.

Alcohol is a drug that when taken in combination with other drugs – including medicines or illicit drugs, can lead to adverse effects. These occur because the two drugs interact in the body. Some individuals may choose to mix alcohol with other drugs whilst others may do so by accident or without knowledge of the risks. The effects on the body of mixing drugs (poly-drug use) can vary greatly across different people. The effects of mixing alcohol with other drugs can be unpredictable and dangerous.

What is a drug interaction?
It is when the effects of one drug alter the effects of another drug. The usual effects of a particular drug may become greater or lesser, or new effects may be seen. These may be unwanted or harmful. Alcohol may stop the benefits that some drugs – such as medicines, have on the body.
