Smoking 'is bad for your brain'

More research has been published linking smoking to health risks - with a study suggesting the habit affects IQ

Researchers from the Universities of Aberdeen and Edinburgh looked at how the cognitive abilities of smokers and non-smokers changed over time.

They found smokers performed significantly worse in five separate tests.

"It would appear that the well-worn cliché that 'smoking stunts your growth' may be true when it comes to intellectual development."
