Smoking Helps Memory & Concentration

Smoking can help boost memory and concentration, say scientists. The discovery offers hope of a nicotine pill that mimics these effects to treat Alzheimer’s disease.

Experts are developing drugs that copy the active ingredients in tobacco that stimulate the brain without causing heart disease, cancer, stroke or addiction.

The move follows the discovery that nicotine can boost the intelligence and recall ability of animals in laboratory experiments.



Proof that there’s something to be said for taking a cigarette break. (Note: Smoking sucks, kids don’t start smoking. Unless you want to look cool.)
