Second-Hand Smoke = Poor Memory
This study reported by the Chicago Tribune, entitled "Second-Hand Smoke Tied to Memory Problems: Study," reveals that individuals who smoke, as well as those who are exposed routinely to others' smoke have significantly more problems with memory than those who have no exposure to cigarette smoke. What are the real-life implications of this research study? What additional research needs to be done?
