Going for a walk could help smokers to break the habit and quit smoking, scientists said. Scientists at the University of Exeter examined the effects of a one-mile walk on 15 smokers who had not taken a cigarette for nearly 15 hours.
The study revealed that after walking at least 20 minutes, the cravings for a cigarette were much lower than when the same smoker was not doing anything, according to the Scottish daily Scotsman.
The smokers realised that their longing for a cigarette to relieve withdrawal symptoms and distractions were both reduced after walking.
