Women with a lust for tobacco products, including cigarette, may find it harder to quit the habit because of low self confidence in giving up. Most of them succeed to limit or kick it during their pregnancy, but more likely to start again after the delivery, suggested a recent study performed by scientists from the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence and from the UK Centre for Tobacco Control Studies.

In addition to this, the study had also suggested that old smokers yield better results at quitting as compared to the younger ones. During the course of the study, the researchers carefully analyzed data from 1990 to 2007 in order to evaluate the success rates for NHS outlined schemes to support people against the tobacco consumption.

“The UK remains the only country in the world to have a comprehensive, free-at- the-point-of-use cessation services - and the study suggests these services do provide effective support for smokers who want to quit”, added the research team. “More innovative cessation interventions” are required for some specific groups of smokers”.

Additionally, according to the findings published in Addiction, laws to prohibit smoking may play a role to influence the smokers to quit the habit.
