Do you need a great reason to quit smoking?
An extensive study shows that smokers are more likely to divorce.The risk for marital break-up is as high as 53% among smokers. Apparently, age, race, education, income or gender makes no difference.In a study of over 33,000 young adults researchers from the University of Michigan found that smoking rates were far higher than average among those men and women who would later divorce. Therefore, smoking is a predictor of divorce. (When I think about the people I know who are divorced, roughly half of them are smokers...weird! What about you?)
According to MarriageAbout.com, studies indicate that younger smokers "enter adulthood with more psychological problems than non-smokers". Additionally, adult smokers have been shown to have higher levels of depression and anxiety. These are the type of challenges and issues which can lead to difficulties in relationships.
MarriageAbout.com as a great little article for you to read on the subject so you might want to check it out.
If you ever needed an excuse to quit, this might be it.
Happy Couples, Happy Planet!
