ADVICE

Nicotine Consumption and Brain Development

  • There may be some cognitive benefits to occasional nicotine use for adults over 25, provided brain development is largely complete.
  • Avoid nicotine before, during, and for 15-20 years after puberty as it can lead to dependence and hinder natural neural circuit development.
  • If considering nicotine for cognitive enhancement as an adult, avoid smoking, vaping, dipping, or snuffing tobacco due to health risks.
