10 Dangerous Brain-Damaging Habits to Stop Immediately

8. Smoking

Cigarettes contain a host of toxic chemicals, many adversely affecting the brain. From 2004 research:

“The study found that cigarette smoking alone caused damage to neuronal viability and cell membranes in the midbrain and on cell membranes of the cerebellar vermis. These brain regions are involved in fine and gross motor functions and balance and coordination.” (11)

Best to quit before you start drooling. The good news is that the body is extraordinarily resilient and most of any damage caused by smoking will be repaired over a relatively short time. (12)
