When compared to someone who does not smoke, smokers are also more memory loss. This is a conclusion of research by a team from the University of Northumbria, UK. By involving more than 70 students aged 18 to 25 years, the research team also found someone who quit smoking can restore their memory at a rate that is almost the same as someone who never smoked.

During the study, students were asked to remember the little things like the music played at student events and other tasks. The result, student smokers only able to remember the little things with the percentage of 59 percent. differ significantly below the results of memory tests on the students who quit smoking, reaching 74 percent.

Meanwhile, someone who had never smoked memory tests to 81 percent. According to Doctor Tom Heffernan, who led the study, the findings will be useful for anti-smoking campaign.

"It is important to know the effects of smoking in everyday cognitive functions, one of which is to reduce the memory capacity," he said, as quoted by the Daily Mail.

This study continues to investigate the effect on memory when a person becomes a passive smoker. Doctor Heffernanand doctor Terence O'Neill will also look at the toxic effects of cigarette left in the curtains and furniture.
