Weight Reduction Helps Women Who Quit
Smoking
Women who give up smoking are more likely
to stay off cigarettes if they are put on a very low calorie diet and
manage to lose weight, researchers have said. Fear of piling on pounds
is a major stumbling block for many would-be ex-smokers.
But following a weight loss program developed
by doctors in Sweden, 50 percent of those quitting managed to stay off
the cigarettes, compared to 35 percent who adhered to no particular regime.
However, there is some concern that the
weight loss program could prove too costly to implement and may only work
for a limited group of women.
