A member asked:

Hello, i am male 18 years old and i have arachnoid cyst in the back of my brain that the doctor said i have since i was born. my question is, is the cyst going to grow with smoking cigarettes ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely...but: These are often symptom free growths that nicotine is unlikely to alter. What nicotine will do to a late teen/early 20's brain is peak it's addictive qualities not seen in older patients. If you are truly interested in a better quality of life you will avoid the nicotine trap altogether.
