Ditching Cigarettes can mend brain matters

Add this to the laundry list of reasons smoking is terrible for your health : the habit can affect the part of the brain that's crucial for conscious learning ( See "After You Quit Smoking"). In a major study released in February 2015 by Scotland's University of Edinburgh  and the Montreal Neurological Institute at Mc Gill University, researchers analyzed recent MBI brain scams of more than 500 subjects ,all of whom had  examined as children in 1947. They discovered that smokers had a demonstrably thinner  brain cortex than  those who had refrained from lighting up.

" The cortex is involved in everything that requires higher-order cognition attention,logical reasoning,our capacity to juggle a lot of concepts at once," says lead reasearcher Sherif Karama,assistant professor of psychiatry at McGill. "(In old age,)smokers end up with a lower level of cognitive abilities than non smokers,even when you account for initial IQ."

But not all is lost: if a person ditches the cigarettes,the cortex can begin to repair itself. "For every 7000 cigarettes you smoke- that's roughly one pack a day for a year- you need to have stopped smoking for almost a year for that area to recover," Katana says,"But if people quit for long enough,their cortex does appear to come back to where it should be for their age."
