A large analysis found those who visit an emergency room due to ma*****na have up to a 72% higher risk of dementia within five years than the general population.

04/14/2025

While many claim that ma*****na is safe due to being 'natural', it is known to create problems with memory and learning, distort perception, difficulty in thinking and problem-solving, and loss of coordination, all of which are linked to dementia.

Frequently visiting the emergency room at your local hospital due to smoking w**d may substantially increase your risk for developing dementia, a study suggests.
