Do ex-smokers report feeling happier following cessation?
Evidence from a cross-sectional survey Researchers in London conducted a study to assess the long-term impact of smoking cessation on happiness. A cross-sectional household survey was sent to a random sample of 879 former smokers. The researchers found that the majority of participants, 69.3%, reported feeling happier after quitting smoking compared to when they were smokers, while only 3.3% reporting feeling less happy. The researchers found that increased happiness following cessation was associated with being younger and having quit at least one year prior to the study. Sociodemographic factors, prior cigarette consumption, and previous enjoyment of smoking were not associated with happiness after cessation. Even controlling for other factors, a majority of respondents reported increased happiness after tobacco cessation.
