Definitely. Lower class status is associated with smoking. It is certainly the inhaled particulate matter that is causing cognitive issues — similar associations to cognitive decline can be found with high PM2.5 exposure, irrespective of the source (industry, traffic, cooking, woodsmoke, etc).

- vehemenz 4y agoYes, but the smoking demographic may experience higher cognitive decline in general due to other lifestyle factors not caused by inhaled particulates.
- kaispowergoo 4y agoCan you elaborate on this? What other lifestyle factors involving the smoking demographic are you referencing?
- vehemenz 4y agoSmoking is more prevalent on the lower end of the household income scale, so any other lifestyle factors that correlate with income (too many to list here) will contribute to poorer health outcomes for the demographic in general.
