Researchers from the State University of Londrina, Brazil, said this study is the first study that shows that more smokers are less active than those who do not move smoke. They studied 60 smokers and 50 nonsmokers. Researchers asked participants to use a pedometer, tool to measure physical activity, for 12 hours for a total of six days.

The study revealed that smokers run a little more each day. In addition they also experience a decline in lung function, so they are also more difficult to exercise.

When they were asked to rate the quality of life related to health, smokers reported they are more easily tired and less motivated to change their lifestyle.

"We understand this is the first study to show objectively that there is a reduction in physical activity compared to those smokers who do not smoke," said study chairman Karina Furlanetto.

Furlanetto said, in addition to the decline in lung function, exercise capacity, and quality of life, smokers were also more likely to experience symptoms of anxiety and depression, as well as walking less than people who do not smoke in everyday life.
