I can imagine how demented smokers must be to cause such damage to unsuspecting victims of their secondhand smoke!

An article in Neurology journal 2007 quoted a study which reported smoking leads to dementia & alzheimers. Their study followed nearly 7,000 people age 55 and older for an average of seven years.
Over that time, 706 of the participants developed dementia. People who were current smokers at the time of the study were 50 percent more likely to develop dementia than people who had never smoked or past smokers
Antioxidants in the diet can eliminate free radicals, and studies have shown that smokers have fewer antioxidants in their diets than nonsmokers
