5 The danger of smoking for brain health


Did you know that according to the World Health Organization (WHO), global smoking is the number 1 cause of death that can actually be avoided? There are more than 4,700 highly toxic hazardous substances in cigarettes and tobacco smoke. Smoking habits can cause many dangerous diseases to lead to death.

People who have a smoking habit are at risk of early death compared to people who do not smoke. Smoking effects not only affect the lungs, heart, and skin only. But it can also have a negative impact on brain health. Dr. Ashok Hande, neurosurgeon from Hiranandani Hospital, Vashi describes some of the negative effects of smoking on the brain, as follows.

1. Causes Addiction

The content of nicotine in cigarettes can burst on brain receptors. The impact so activate areas in the brain to create a feeling of happiness and happiness. So it can trigger an addiction. If it is addicted, stopping it will be difficult because it even causes feelings of anxiety and irritability.

2. High Risk of Dementia

Most smoking can make the brain weaken and contract. It can even cause a decrease in cognitive abilities. Over time worse impact could increase the risk of dementia and Alzheimer's by 79%. Smokers also often experience insomnia and sleep disorders that also will increase the risk of dementia in the next few years.

3. Oxygen Supply to the Brain Hampered

There is another surprising fact. The frequency of smoking can also affect IQ. Oxygen supply to the brain can be reduced and carbon dioxide levels increase, affecting hemoglobin. The effect can also reduce the capacity or ability to analyze problems and solve problems.

4. The ability to concentrate can actually decrease

Smoking can not always improve the ability to focus. In fact can reduce the ability to concentrate. Extraordinary fatigue will be the effect when oxygen supply to the brain is reduced.

5. Increase Risk of Brain Stroke

The content of nicotine in the blood causes the blood to become more viscous. The impact may increase the risk of deposition of plaque in the arteries. If this is allowed to increase the risk of brain stroke. In smokers, the risk of death caused by stroke is more than twice that of non-smokers.

Smoking habits did indeed give a very bad impact on brain health. Indeed when it is addicted, it is not easy to stop. But there's always work to do to overcome it, right?
