Smoking can lead a person to dementia? Dementia refers to some serious loss of brain abilities in a normal person. In other words, nicotine contained in cigarettes increases Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimer's disease happens when the brain becomes riddled with (1) amyloid protein (increases the production of amyloid protein plaques) and (2) tangles of tau proteins. This means that smoking will subsequently reduce the two important components in human body. Although some previous studies suggested that tobacco helps the reduction of the Alzheimer's disease, however recently studies have also indicated that smoking actually increases the risk of Alzheimer's.
