Adrian Taylor, a professor from
the University of Exeter,
carried out a study to find out how physical activity can be helpful for
cutting down on cigarette intake. He undertook the study by enrolling 99 people
from Devonport and Devonport. After a period of eight weeks, he found that
around 20 percent of the smokers who got help from the services tried to quit
smoking, in comparison to 6 percent who didn’t get any help.
As the study ended, it was seen
that some of the participants increased physical activity more than others and
it proved to be useful for smoking cessation.
Now, several health services are
considering physical activity as an effective help for smokers who are looking
forward to quit smoking successfully.
