A study into the performance of soldiers in the US armed forces has found that soldiers who smoke can have an increased risk of injury and may lack the physical capability of their non-smoking counterparts. Studies by U.S. Army Public Health Command (USAPHC ) found that smoking in soldiers increases the risk of sustaining injuries, particularly overuse injuries and damage to musculoskeletal tissue that accumulates with repetitive activities, such as running. The risks of injury have been found to be up to 90% higher for smokers than non-smoking soldiers. 

A recent study by researchers at the University of Northumbria has found that long term smoking can have an effect on memory, but giving up smoking can have a positive impact on reversing the effect. Researchers from the University’s Collaboration for Drug and Alcohol Research Group conducted the study earlier this year, the first study of its kind to set out to determine whether giving up smoking can have a positive impact on memory retention and recollection.

Cigarette smokers who are thinking about switching to e-cigarettes often wonder what the differences are between normal smoking and the smoking (or vaping) of e-cigarettes. In addition to electronic cigarettes containing no tar and no tobacco, therefore reducing the harmful substances inhaled when smoking, people who smoke e-cigs find that there is often a difference in their consumption as opposed to smoking normal cigarettes.
