Tobacco steals 1/3 of your memory
Smokers may miss a third of their memorabilia every day, the researchers claim.
Smokers may miss a third of their memorabilia every day, the researchers claim.
The survey conducted by the team at Northumbria University (UK) shows that smokers forget a lot of things compared to ordinary people. But when they quit this bad habit, their ability to store information restored almost as much as non-smokers.
According to Fox News , the study explored over 70 people aged 18 to 25. Participants were asked to recall small details, such as the music played, and complete tasks at different times.
As a result, smokers perform a much worse test, remembering only 59% of tasks.
But those who quit smoking remembered 74%, compared with 81% of those who never smoked.
Dr. Tom Heffernan, head of the research team, said the finding could be useful in anti-tobacco campaigns.
This is the first time, an in-depth study of how quit smoking affects memory.
"We already know that quitting smoking has great health benefits, but this study also shows that stopping smoking benefits the perception."
