The Surprising Effect of Exercise on Smoking


A 2006 study suggests that women who smoke, yet engross in very arduous and vigorous physical activity at least three times a week are almost 30 per cent less likely to acquire lung cancer as opposed to women who engage in the exceedingly deleterious act of smoking AND remain physically dormant and inactive. Women who partook in moderate physical exercise (at least twice a week) were 23 per cent likely to develop lung cancer. In essence among smokers, those with the highest exercising capacity had significantly lower risks in dire comparison to their to their low-exercising capacity counterparts. NEVERTHELESS, exercising smokers still have a greater propensity to acquire cardiac health risks when compared to non-smokers!
