Does nicotine cause forgetfulness and lack of concentration?
September 3rd, 2010
I am smoking and I lately I always forget things especially those that have small details and I also find it hard to concentrate. Could it be because of nicotine or something else (Alzheimer’s, etc.). I’m 19 years old, smoking for almost 2 years.

It’s not the smoking, cigarettes will do alot of bad things to you, but not this. Studies have shown an increase in concentration and response times in people who have had some nicotine. Go and talk to your doctor about this, get a referral to a neurologist and find out what is causing it all. And quit the smokes, they aren’t good for anything. Best wishes.
Nope, studies find that it helps you concentrate. And you’re rather young for all but some very rare forms of alzheimer’s! Sounds to me like you should consult a doctor.
