One decision could help lower dementia risk and improve long-term brain health
New research indicates that quitting smoking may significantly lower the risk of developing dementia later in life. A study involving over 32,000 adults found that former smokers had a dementia risk comparable to those who had never smoked. The findings suggest that the benefits of quitting smoking for brain health increase the longer a person remains smoke-free.
