Abstract in brief

  • Nicotine has both positive and negative effects on cognition, influencing attention, memory, and brain function in both healthy individuals and those with neurological disorders like Alzheimer's, Parkinson’s, and schizophrenia.
  • While nicotine can improve cognitive function in certain conditions, it also poses risks, especially during prenatal and adolescent development, and can cause memory impairment during withdrawal or in high doses.
  • Despite its potential for treating neurological deficits, the harmful effects of smoking require continued education and awareness efforts to prevent tobacco use, particularly among pregnant women and adolescents, including the use of e-cigarettes.]
