Exercise helps smokers quit - study

Want to quit smoking? Hit the gym.

A study released on Tuesday by the American College of Chest Physicians found smokers who combine exercise with nicotine gum or transdermal patches are more likely to quit than those who rely onnicotine replacement therapyalone.

Sixty-eight patients at two Austrian hospitals were randomly assigned either a treatment program that included exercise or one that only used nicotine replacement therapy.

After three months, 80 percent of those who exercised had quit smoking, while 52 percent of those in the group that did not exercise had quit.

And those who exercised were more likely to reduce their cigarette smoking if they did not quit, the study found. They also scored better on several tests measuring respiratory health.

The study was conducted at Otto Wagner Hospital and Lainz Hospital in Austria.

想戒烟吗?快去运动吧!

美国胸腔医学院本周二公布的一项研究显示,吸烟者在使用尼古丁口香糖或皮肤药贴戒烟的同时进行适当的运动,比仅采用尼古丁替代疗法效果好。

研究人员将奥地利两家医院的68个病人随机分成了两组,一组人的治疗计划中加入了运动,而另一组人只用尼古丁替代疗法。

三个月后,通过运动戒烟的人中有80%成功戒烟,而另一组没有进行运动的人中只有52%戒了烟。

研究发现,就算运动戒烟者未能彻底戒除烟瘾,他们的吸烟量也会大大减少。而且运动戒烟者在其它几项有关呼吸健康测试中的得分也相对较高。

这项研究是在奥地利的奥托·瓦格纳医院和廉兹医院进行的。
