Smoking causes various health risks. So it is necessary to avoid smoking. For that you can use any pother alternative like electronic cigarette starter kits. These cigarettes are healthier and not containing any harmful substance. You can easily quit your tobacco smoking with that.For more information visit here-http://blog.best4ecigs.com/2013/07/what-is-in-electronic-cigarette.html

Everytime I try to view the post concerning smoking and alcohol effects on alzheimers, it displays the article about skin cancers and dementia. Is a link broken?

Caring for, lecturing and writing about dementias such as Alzheimer's, I work to preserve the dignity of people affected by one of the greater challenges of our generation.

This site was inspired by my Mom’s autoimmune dementia.

It is a place where we separate out the wheat from the chafe, the important articles & videos from each week’s river of news. Google gets a new post on Alzheimer’s or dementia every 7 minutes. That can overwhelm anyone looking for help. This site filters out, focuses on and offers only the best information. it has helped hundreds of thousands of people since it debuted in 2007. Thanks to our many subscribers for your supportive feedback.

The site is dedicated to all those preserving the dignity of the community of people living with dementia.
