If you are a man and you smoke, you are most likely to lose your ability to think fast before your time, a new scientific research study suggests.
The study published by the General Psychiatry journal suggests that smoking causes a rapid decline in the reasoning abilities of men.
The study’s findings did not reveal any such link between for female smokers as regards the mental decline observed in men, in effect suggesting that the problem may prevalent in men alone.
Mental decline named as cognitive ageing, was said that it begins to be noticed at the age 45.
“While we were aware that smoking is a risk factor for lung diseases,
cancer, and cardiovascular disease, this study shows also its detrimental
effect on cognitive ageing. This detrimental effect is evident as soon as (age) 45,”
the lead author Severine Sabia of University College London was quoted in the various media Tuesday.
“Intermittent smokers showed the same cognitive decline as persistent smokers,
showing the importance of definitive smoking cessation,”
The main outcome was summarised: “The cognitive test battery was composed of tests of memory, vocabulary, executive function (composed of 1 reasoning and 2 fluency tests), and a global cognitive score summarizing performance across all 5 tests. Smoking status was assessed over the entire study period. Linear mixed models were used to assess the association between smoking history and 10-year cognitive decline, expressed as z scores.” (ZimEye)

@ Tsano,the man smoking is ZANU YOUTH
You ZPF tribalists, can you pronounce the word Nxa?
This Editor cud be Cde Naked. Hw many MDC sellout ministers smoke? Nxaaaaah. This is an anti Zanu site ne?
Kikikikikiki. Am too good for ZPF tribalist Kikikikiki even when representing each other kikikiki.
Ps. I would love to support ZPF but their behaviour is Malema like and Chando and Miki are failing to make see good in their party. I will look for Zapu or Mavambo because MDC-T is puppet like.
Mavambo I see things differently. I do not think there is a better of demonstrating smoking than using that picture, with smoke bellowing out like its from a bus whose engine pistons and rings are wornout. Even if that picture was from an MDC-a,e,i,o,u, Mavambo, Zapu or Ndu the editor would have used it.
Secondly there is no better way of demostrating what a stupid person would do than using that picture of an oldman with his sack of tobbacco and a cell phone using both clenched fists instead of just one, with his eyes apparently closed.
So please leave the editor alone, he never invited anyone to make a spectacle of hiself. Next time someone discovers that dancing makes you stupid expect to see your members dancing kongonya because there is no better way of showing a stupid dancer than showing someone dancing kongonya. Get that and be clear Chando and Miki. Caricature yourself and be prepared when others caricature you in a betterway. Bye!
Good read Mr Editor! But that file photo… ummmmmmm!! Am seeing Chando and Bla Miki reaching for your neck… lol.
I have said that these zimeyes are biased and you have confirmed that they have a political party of their choice which is fine with me but why pick on ZANU supporters? Why did they not go to Rambanayi bar in Mbare to get photos of smokers? They made their hatred for ZANU so apparent.
Lets exchange Mr Chando until we agree.
Chando its only ZPF who fail to be impartial or to apolitical. How many people in Zim do not belong to one political party or the other or just sympathise?
They certainly have political parties or leaders they like but that does not make them bloke debates that do not go along with their political thinking.
Once they are immune to that we then quickly declare them objective and proffessional and then guard and defend our stand point of view. Is that hard Chando?
ZANU PF supporters do not need the nicotine smoking habit to make them stupid. They have been stupid in their support for those theiving murderers ever since they stole the first elections from Muzerewa.
Do they have a political party? If so then they cease to be impartial and credible reporters.
The man in the picture is testimony to the stupidity of smockers. ZPF slogan is just a fist up and naturally righthand fist but the pipe smoker is raising both hands leaving him with no hand to hold his pipe so he needs three hands during sloganeering.
He does not even know his own party slogans! Is this not cheer stupidity.
Chando I know you believe Zimeye is anti-ZPF. That you are a know ZPF and Zimeye editors continue to allow you to excercise your freedom of speech and even rebuke and insult them and their political party simply prooves one thing.
1. That Zimeye staff are democratic and very tolerant of divergent views, something that your ZPF party had to murder over 20000 people for.
Just think a bit and note that you are now even trying to censor the views of the Zimeye editors in their own back yard. Very familiar isn’t it?
CHANDO, what has the editor done? Just because he/she put that photo of a ZANU prostitute-monger smoking before parliament? Is that actually you in the photo CHANDO? kikikiki!
Mr Editor what has smoking got to do with ZANU(PF)your bias is too much.
That’s true I hve got evidence to back up ur findings,Bla Miki n Chando are gud examples of ur findings what ever they smoke is stronger than cocaine
