How do i know if i have permanent brain damage from smoking?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It doesnt do that: Unless you have very severe lung disease and continue to smoke, smoking does not cause brain damage. In people with chronically low oxygen levels who continue to smoke, there may be more of a risk.
