TagsSmoking is said to be root cause of several dangerous diseases. According to an authentic survey conducted, marriage with a smoker can also be dangerous for the partner. As per the research, the risk of stroke of heart related problems doubles in case of passive smoker.

Dementia is a disease which affects the behaviour, memory and speech of the patient. Severian Sabia and his colleagues associated with the national health institute of France conducted a study on ten thousand working people in the age group of 35 and 55 years in London held between 1985 and 1988. The study showed that smoking affected the memory with growing age.
An article published in the magazine Archives of International Medicine, these researchers claimed that chain smoking has very deep impact on the memory of smokers. They also said that those who quit smoking also reduce the risk of poor memory. According to the researchers, there is a strong relationship between smoking and memory and therefore the real picture is not clear because many people lose their lives before crossing middle age. They believe that health can be improved by quiting smoking in old age.
