News Desk: Eat abundant of fruits and Vegetables if you want to quit smoking – a new study has prescribed. The new study was published in the journal ‘Nicotine and Tobacco Research’.

The study was performed by the public health researchers at the University Of Buffalo (UB) which is probably the first experiment to link a relationship between fruit and vegetable consumption and quitting smoking.

 

The researchers selected one thousand smokers aged 25 years and more and carried on telephonic interviews with them for the survey. They followed up the respondents 14 months later and asked them whether they had abstained from tobacco use during the previous month.

 

The researchers found that smokers who consumed fruit and vegetables the most during the past months were three times more likely to be tobacco-free than those consuming the lowest amount of fruits and vegetables.

 

The same result still continued even if it was again analyzed taking the age, gender, race, education, income and health orientation of the respondents into account.

 

"We may have identified a new tool that can help people quit smoking," said Jeffrey P. Haibach, a co-author of the study.
