Alzheimers Information

When it comes to relating Alzheimers and smoking – it turns out that passive smoking – getting your lungs filled with smoke from spouses, co-workers or that idiot next to you has been tied into a greater chance of developing Alzheimers

Researchers at Cambridge University and Peninsula Medical School looked at the research results from a survey of approximately 5000 adults (50 years and older).

While it has been known for some time that smokers have a greater than average chance of getting Alzheimers, it now appears that non-smokers also have a greater than average chance if they inhale enough smoke. So the the workplace is as big a risk as the home in the study.

Bottom Line

So if your spouse, family member or workplace isn’t smoke free yet, you
are at risk of developing Alzheimer’s as a result.
