There is a direct link between smoking and brain damage, according to new research conducted by Debapriya Ghosh and Dr Anirban Basu from the Indian National Brain Research Centre (NBRC).

Ghosh and Basu have discovered that a compound in tobacco provokes white blood cells in the central nervous system to attack healthy cells, leading to acute neurological damage.

Their research focuses on a compound known as NNK, which is commonly found in tobacco. NNK is a procarinogen, a chemical substance which becomes carcinogenic when it is altered by the metabolic process of the body.
