Tobacco use is now associated in some studies and literature with higher risks of developing cognitive disorders like mild cognitive impairment, which can lead not only directly but also indirectly through damage on future generations' mental capacities. The problem for governments facing this challenge has been how do you raise awareness about these harmful habits while ensuring effective harm reduction? For example there is relatively little public knowledge surrounding smoking during pregnancy (which helps explain why early women don't smoke as much), or around weight loss interventions such it diets. These efforts have produced mixed results – sometimes promising successes thanks mostly towards reducing mortality rates; other times worse outcomes including increased depression and suicidal thoughts.
