Australian study analyzes brain function elderly smokers

(ANSA) - SYDNEY, 10 FEB - An Australian study shows that smoking accelerates the mental decline. But stopping it will reverse the damaging effects.

Those who had failed to stop slipped twice more in the mental decline 'rapidly than nonsmokers.
