(HealthDay News) Vaping may look cool when you're young, but it appears to be dulling the brains of college students, a new study warns.
College students who vape have lower cognitive function scores than those who don't, researchers reported Sunday at the American Neurological Association’s annual meeting in Orlando, Fla.
And the more students vape, the lower they score on tests of learning, memory, problem-solving and critical thinking, researchers found.
Students who vaped 10 to 20 puffs per day had scores 9% lower than those who did not vape or smoke, while those who vaped more than 20 puffs a day had scores nearly 14% lower, researchers found.
