Show Notes
New research from Johns Hopkins Medicine reveals that smoking accelerates age-related eye damage, affecting younger smokers more severely. The study found that cigarette smoke alters gene expression related to aging processes in both mice and humans. Smoking is already linked to numerous health issues beyond the lungs, with smokers facing four times the risk of vision loss or blindness. A separate Johns Hopkins study warns that reducing cigarette consumption offers little protection against heart problems. The research suggests that quitting smoking entirely is the best way to improve long-term health.
