There are many
reasons to quit smoking – the habit has been proven to be carcinogenic and it
is also linked with an increased risk of heart complications.
Over eight million people in the UK still smoke and more than half of them are
likely to die from smoking-related diseases.
And if you were alone as most of the nation enjoyed romantic meals and the
company of their loved ones last night then smoking cessation could have added
benefits.
New research from the Department of Health found that 74 per cent of 18 to
24-year-olds stated that they would not kiss someone who had just smoked, while
76 per cent believe a cigarette makes people look less attractive.
"Whilst obviously people aren't permanently a smoker in many cases and
some people can see past this - it does clearly influence a person's decision
to date you," said Sarah Beeny, host of Channel 4's Property Ladder and
the person behind dating website mysinglefriend.com.
