Quitting smoking IMPROVES your mood, say scientists | Mail Online: "Many smokers reach for a cigarette to help ease their anxiety during stressful periods.
However, American researchers have found that quitting smoking makes people happier, and the effect lasts for as long as they manage to kick the habit.
The team from Brown University and the University of Southern California said it showed quitting is not, as many smokers fear, a psychological sacrifice made for the sake of their physical health.
Study author Professor Christopher Kahler from Brown, said: 'If people quit smoking their depressive symptoms go down and if they relapse, their mood goes back to where they were."
