Abstract in brief
- This meta-analysis reviewed 41 studies from 1994 to 2008 and found that nicotine positively affects various human performance areas, such as motor skills, attention, and memory, especially in non-deprived smokers and nonsmokers.
- The research showed that nicotine improves fine motor skills, alerting and orienting attention, as well as episodic and working memory, with effect sizes indicating a moderate positive impact.
- The findings suggest that nicotine's enhancement of cognitive functions may play a role in why people start smoking and continue using tobacco, as these effects could reinforce dependence.]

Questions are always welcome! Many with entrenched pride or funding conflicts of interest say "Nicotine changes your brain!" That is generally true, but not in the way they insinuate. #Nicotine on its own (outside smoke) is a proven cognitive enhancer. https://t.co/GPjyR5DVAG https://t.co/1Xzl5u4DzL

@RCHMelbourne @DrAntheaRhodes @FrydenbergLexi @ApplePodcasts @spotifypodcasts Agree with @phil_w888 No evidence of cognitive harm in human adolescents.
