Yet another reason we should love our fruits and veggies

Fruit and Vegetables May Help Smokers Kick the Habit
Eating more fruit and vegetables may help you quit smoking, University of Buffalo researchers say.
Smokers who up their fruit and vegetable intake wait longer to smoke their first cigarette, smoke fewer cigarettes per day, and have lower nicotine-dependence scores than smokers who eat fewer vegetables, the Toronto Sun reported June 6. More importantly, fruit and veggie eaters were three times more likely to be tobacco-free during a follow-up study than those who ate the fewest vegetables.
Fruit and vegetables may make cigarettes taste worse, decreasing smoking rates, earlier studies have shown.
In addition, “It is also possible that fruit and vegetables give people more of a feeling of satiety or fullness so that they feel less of a need to smoke, since smokers sometimes confuse hunger with an urge to smoke,” the study authors say.
The study appears online in the journal Nicotine and Tobacco Research.
