We’ve heard smoking takes a toll on your lungs and teeth, but a new study suggests the bad habit may also rot your brain!

According to BBC news, researchers gave brain tests to people over the age of 50 and repeated those tests after four years and again after eight.

The study found a “consistent association” between smoking and lower scores.
