A member asked:
Are there any conditions or circumstances where it is potentially dangerous for a person's brain for them to smoke cigarettes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Always.: Cigarettes are poison, not just for the brain, but for the rest of the body as well. At age 18, your brain is still developing, and to smoke now would be especially bad for it. Don't do it.
