Some studies investigated the effects of cigarette smoking  on cognitive function, but few have evaluated the effects of cigarette smoking on spatial and color vision. A new study tends to  indicate that heavy long-term smokers (i.e. tobacco addiction users)  have lower contrast sensitivity and poorer color discrimination  abilities than their non-smoking peers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more at : <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S016517811832078X?via%3Dihub\">ScienceDirect<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Health &amp; Medicine Date: January 2019 Source: ScienceDirect It has already been demonstrated that cigarette smoke contains numerous compounds that are harmful to health and has been linked to a reduction of cortical thickness, involving such areas as the medial and lateral frontal cortex and a decrease in activity of the occipital cortex.
