Study has found more successful rate in Couples who kick bad habits together

A new UK study has found that couples who commit to quit smoking or to lose weight are way ahead in success percentage than those doing it together.

Success rate of women quit smoking with their partner stopping at the same time was 50 percent, compared to only 8% whose partners still smoked. Just 17% had success kicking the habit if their partners were non-smokers.

Similarly men have the same success rate if their partner made the same change.

“Now is the time to make New Year’s resolutions to quit smoking, take exercise, or lose weight. And doing it with your partner increases your chances of success,” lead author Sarah Jackson said in a statement.

3,722 couples over age of 50 have been studied by the researchers from University College London, as part of a longitudinal study.

About Cliff Jenkins Scott

Cliff likes to describe himself as made for the hard road. Freelancing is taking off across the world. And yet, valuable opportunities are hard to find he thinks, particularly when it comes to writing. After graduating with an MA degree in Communication as a major and Technology and Writing as minors, Cliff decided to give his own website hosting creative writing a boost and engage in an overwhelming number of projects, all of them focused on writing. He didn’t look for a quick burnout, but his eagerness to learn as much as possible as rapidly as possible kept him going.
