TIP OF
THE WEEK
Butt for
Your Brain's Sake
By Sue Cunningham
Elderly smokers lose brain function five times faster than their
non-puffing peers, according to a recent study of nearly 10,000
European men and women. Smoking may cause undetectable strokes
or kill neurons in the brain some other way.
In either case, there’s only one message. “Don’t
smoke,” says Lenore Launer, Ph.D., of the National Institute
on Aging. “It’s not good for your heart and it’s
not good for your brain either.”
