People who smoke could lose around one third of their daily memory, researchers say.

A study by a team at Northumbria University showed that smokers lost more of their memory when compared to non-smokers.

And the research also found that those who kicked the habit saw their ability to recollect information restored to almost the same level as non-smokers.

The study involved more than seventy 18-to-25-year-olds and included a tour of the university’s campus. Those who took part were asked to recall small details, such as a list of songs played at a campus concert and tasks completed at various points－known as real world memory test. Smokers performed badly, remembering just 59 percent of tasks. But those who had given up smoking remembered 74 percent and those who had never smoked recalled 81 percent of tasks.

Dr. Tom Heffernan, who leads Northumbria University’s Collaboration for Drug and Alcohol Research Group, said the findings would be useful in anti-smoking campaigns. He said, “Given that there are up to 10 million smokers in the UK and as many as 45 million in the United States, it's important to understand the effects smoking has on everyday cognitive（认知的）function-of which prospective memory is an excellent example. ”

“This is the first time that a study has set out to examine whether giving up smoking has an impact on memory. We already know that giving up smoking has huge health benefits for the body, but this study also shows how stopping smoking can have knock-on benefits for cognitive functions too. ’’

The research will now investigate the effects of passive smoking on memory, while Dr. Heffernan and Dr. Terence O’Neil will look into the effects of third-hand smoking－toxins left on curtains and furniture.

Too shy, too broke, too busy, too lazy to hit the gym these days? With FitTV, a cable station that offers 20 hours of fitness and health programing every day, another excuse for not exercising doesn’t work. But you'll still have to get up off that couch.

"FitTV is currently the only network for fitness and keeping exercise and fitness programing fresh and accessible to everyone," Carole Tomko, president and general manager of FitTV, said in an interview.

Part of Discovery Communications Inc., the station offers the workout choices, ranging from Pilates and aerobics（有氧运动）to body sculpting, yoga, belly dancing and hip hop.

"I wanted FitTV to be a clear and inviting alternative to 'hitting the gym,'" Tomko said from her headquarters in Silver Springs, Maryland.

There are exotic locations. You may be in your living room, but decathlon champion Gilad Janklowicz, an aerobics instructor, is helping you develop you from the golden sands of Hawaii's Waikiki Beach.

In the "Namaste" yoga classes, bendy young women in sports bras and shorts execute their poses（摆姿势）as the scene behind them shifts from park to beach to sun-flooded studio.

FitTV also delivers lifestyle programing on nutrition and weight loss, and a video-on-demand service allows viewers to call up favorite shows at will.

Dr. Kenneth McCulloch, an associate professor of orthopedic surgery of New York University School of Medicine, said that in general, the concept is a great idea.

"It seems that they recognize that diet and exercise go hand in hand," McCulloch said. "The other major benefit is accessibility."

FitTV targets adults ages 25-54 and is available in 47 million homes nationwide, according to Tomko, who says the subscriber base has increased steadily since 2003.
