According to the World Health Organization, 14% of dementia cases worldwide may be caused by smoking. But quitting can help.
In a recent news article from the American Heart Association, Gleason Lab member Adrienne Johnson, PhD, shared her expertise in helping older adults quit smoking.
The American Heart Association published “Smoking harms the brain, raises dementia risk — but not if you quit” on its news site on July 6, 2021.
U.S. News & World Report picked up the story and published it online on July 6, 2021.
