The Benefits of Quitting Smoking for Mental Health
Quitting smoking benefits mental health and reduces the risk of psychological disorders, according to a study published in JAMA.

According to a report by Matabandung on October 8, while some people believe that smoking can alleviate stress and soothe the soul, in reality, they may unknowingly be suffering from mental illness.


A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) by the Nuffield Department of Primary Health Sciences reveals that quitting smoking is associated with significantly greater benefits compared to continuing smoking.


The project's researcher, Gao Min, stated, "We have employed three statistical methods to avoid result confusion, and therefore can provide strong evidence to suggest that quitting smoking is actually beneficial to both physical and mental health, rather than harmful." His research found that individuals who quit smoking are at a lower risk of developing mental illnesses and need not worry excessively about changes in their emotions.


Non-smokers are actually more productive than smokers. They find it easier to achieve their goals in social settings and are more effective at completing daily tasks. Additionally, they do not experience the guilt often associated with smoking due to stress.
