Smokers have an increased risk of dementia, and smoking can substantially increase the risk of other health conditions. Up to four in ten cases of dementia could be linked to health, lifestyle and environmental risk factors. The WHO Knowledge Summary on Tobacco and Dementia explains many of the reasons behind the link between smoking and dementia. An example of this includes the fact that the two most common forms of dementia (Alzheimer’s disease and vascular dementia) have both been linked to problems with the vascular system (your heart and blood vessels).

“I have tried many times to stop smoking but on Christmas eve 2022 I decided to simply give it up. I bought a vape and that’s what I now use to distract myself. I realised during January just how much I had been spending on smoking it works out that I was spending more on cigarettes that i was the finance for my car. I now remind myself that not smoking pays for my car and gives me more money to spend on the pony I bought for my granddaughter. My advice to smokers out there would be that I was smoking around 40 to 50 a day and I have always said if I can do it anyone can”
