Cigarette use is a significant risk factor for cognitive deterioration and dementia. The precise pathobiology of smoking, on the other hand, remains uncertain. Tobacco contains nicotine and many mutagens and carcinogens, wreaking havoc on various body components. Tobacco has a detrimental effect on the development of neurological structures, neurotransmission, and cognitive processes and the development of neurodegenerative disorders, insomnia, and cerebrovascular disease. Nicotine in tobacco smoke has various effects on the human body, including a negative impact on commonly known neurological health. In recent years, considerable effort has been spent on characterizing, revealing, and unearthing new facets of tobacco's negative effect on human life. Therefore, this review aims to explore the relationship between tobacco use and neurodegenerative diseases. To summarize, tremendous effort has been given in recent decades to unveil tobacco harmful to human lives. Nicotine has a wide range of adverse impacts on health, such as a detrimental effect on the brain's generally accepted neurological function.Keywords: Nicotine; Neurodegenerative Disorders; Parkinson's disease; Tobacco smoking.
