4d. Stop Smoking
Smoking has a negative impact on several areas of the body, including the brain!
Cigarettes contain nicotine, which is an extremely addictive substance.
The nicotine changes your brain, making it harder to quit smoking once you start.
Evidence also shows that smoking increases the risk of cognitive decline in the brain.
