Smoking cuts at least ten years off a person’s life, but a study fount that those who quit before they turn 40 regain almost all of those potentially lost years.

Professor Prabhat Jha of Toronto University, who led the study, said “Quitting before 40, and preferably well before 40, gives back almost all the decade of lost life. That’s not to say that it is safe to smoke until you are 40 and then stop. Former smokers still have a greater risk of dying sooner. But the risk is small compared to the huge risk for those who continue to smoke.”

People who quit between 35 and 44 regained about nine years. Those who quit between 45 and 54 and 55 and 64 regained six and four years of life, respectively.

The study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, is unique in how it weighed up the risks of smoking and the benefits of stopping among a sample of Americans.

Women and men who smoke both lost a decade of life. Smokers aged 25 to 79 have a mortality rate three times higher than people who have never smoked. Non-smokers are about twice as likely to live to 80 years than smokers.

We will be now offering the Facilitas therapy in Southborough in Kent , Wareham in Dorset, Newport on the Isle of Wight and Colchester in Essex, these locations will be up and running in February and March.

Facilitas UK Director Mark O’Leary “This is exciting news for us as our partnership with Day Lewis goes from strength to strength after our first location at Ipswich in April last year. This has been an outstanding success for people in quitting smoking, Ipswich has a success rate of over 75% helping more and more clients to give up their nicotine habit and changing their lives for the better”.

“Day Lewis have recognized this and are now committed to offering our therapy in more of their locations across the country which is great news for the general public and our expansion with them will continue in 2013″.

• Researchers found ex-smokers were less anxious
• One in five say they need cigarettes to relieve stress
• Researchers say smokers deserve to know relaxing benefits of nicotine are a myth

It is yet another reason to keep that New Year’s resolution about giving up smoking.
Contrary to popular perception, smoking does not relieve stress. But quitting does.
British researchers measured anxiety levels in almost 500 smokers – before and after they tried to give up.

One in five said they smoked to help them deal with stress. Nationally, the figure is as high as one in two.
All took part in an NHS smoking cessation programme, which involved being given nicotine patches and attending two-monthly appointments.

Six months after signing up for the course, 68 of the 491 were still abstaining – and they were less anxious than before.
However, those who tried to give up and failed were more stressed than in the beginning, the British Journal of Psychiatry reports.
The researchers, from Oxford University and King’s College London, said: ‘The belief that smoking is stress-relieving is pervasive but almost certainly wrong.
‘The reverse is true: smoking probably causes anxiety and smokers deserve to know this and understand how their own experience may be misleading.’

Researchers believe the confusion has arisen because one of the withdrawal effects of nicotine is edginess.
Smokers in need of a top-up will repeatedly suffer this feeling throughout the day and find it eases when they have a cigarette. But while smoking may take the edge off stress related to lack of nicotine, it probably does nothing to ease the pressures of everyday life.

The researchers are less sure why stress levels rose in those who failed to quit. But it may be that their failure – and thoughts of the damage their habit was doing to their health – made them worry more.

This increase in stress levels was particularly high in those with depression and other psychiatric problems and the researchers said doctors should be aware of this.

UK Director Mark O’Leary was joined by Ken Buschmann from head office in Germany with Lin Reeveley and Lynda Fuller from Day Lewis Ipswich to promote our therapy, Lynda who is our trained therapist at the branch in Ipswich has now completed over 25 treatments with a very high success rate of over 75% for clients.

Ken Buschmann “We were really impressed with how much interest we received from everybody at the conference, Mark has really developed the UK business well so that clients can have our therapy within the professional environment of the Pharmacy and we are very pleased that a large company such as Day Lewis PLC have committed to having our soft laser therapy in another 4 of their branches at the start of 2013″.
