Specialists from University of Wisconsin state have found out how smoking refusal improves psychological wellbeing.

1.5 thousands of people who quit smoking during one and three years till the examination beginning were examined. Such factors as self-respect, attitude to life, work, and rest, relationships with relatives, children and friends were took into account.
