According to a German study, smoking not only affects the lungs, muscles or the brain, but also influences the mood of people. The analysis found that those who did not smoke described themselves as happier and more satisfied people than those who did.
Despite government restrictions imposed this year, 30 percent of the adult Spanish population smokers , according to the National Institute of Statistics. Well, in addition to the more than known prejudices for physical health at the lung, muscle, skin, brain, etc. level, the Berlin University of Humboldt has discovered that it also affects the mood and even the level of demand at the time of looking for a partner.
According to the study carried out by Dr. Wiebke Neberich in Picology of personal relationships, 65 percent of non-smokers describe themselves as happy people, compared to 57 percent of smokers. Likewise, when asked if they felt fulfilled and full, almost half of those who did not use tobacco answered affirmatively, compared to only 39 percent of smokers.
As the director of the study explains, “having worse health, low self-esteem and worse self-esteem, smokers tend to settle when looking for a partner and lower their level of demand.” Regarding quitting this harmful habit, Dr. Neberich is blunt: “Definitely quitting smoking is a first step to regain self-confidence and feel strong to start looking for a partner who is truly compatible with oneself.”
To carry out the study, Dr. Neberich analyzed 3,498 single people, of whom 1,813 were men and 1,685 were women, with a mean age of 35 years.
