A study in the journal “BMC Public Health” reveals that quitting smoking reduces alcohol consumption.
According to what we read last week in Infosalus, a study published in the journal “BMC Public Health” reveals that individuals who have recently begun trying to quit smoking tobacco are more likely to attempt to drink less alcohol than other smokers.
Drinking and smoking are interconnected, according to the study conducted in England. It indicates that people who tried to quit smoking were less likely to engage in heavy drinking. Consequently, they were more likely to be classified as moderate drinkers. In this way, they have a low risk of alcoholism compared to those who did not set such a goal.
These conclusions lead us to make some reflections:
- These results go against the widespread opinion that people who quit smoking tend to drink more to compensate for it.
- Despite this, it is possible that smokers restrict their alcohol consumption when trying to quit smoking. In this way, they can reduce the likelihood of relapse.
- Without a doubt, tobacco dependence and alcohol consumption are closely related.
