Weekend smoking can damage your memory, study suggests:
People who smoke only at weekends cause as much damage to their memory as those who smoke on a daily basis, according to research from Northumbria University.
Academics from the Collaboration for Drug and Alcohol Research Group in Northumbria’s School of Life Sciences tested 28 social smokers – those who smoke around 20 cigarettes once or twice a week, typically when out at the weekend – 28 people who smoke 10-15 cigarettes daily and 28 people who had never smoked on a video-based prospective memory test.
