Abstract

Successful smoking cessation is a problem for many smokers and the 1-year quit ratio among smokers is <1%.¹ Women may have lower cessation and higher relapse rates than men² and their risk for developing heart disease and lung cancer has increased significantly in recent years.³ Physical activity offers a healthful alternative to smoking: it facilitates regulation of body weight,⁴ moderates mood changes⁵ and improves responses to stress.⁶.
