Smoking cigarettes linked to poor mental health
Researchers have found that smoking not only causes physical damage but is also detrimental to mental health.
According to the study, published in the journal PLOS ONE, the research team from Hebrew University of Jerusalem, University of Belgrade and University of Pristina together, surveyed more than 2,000 students enrolled at Serbian universities with differing socio-political and economic environments.
They found that students who smoked had rates of clinical depression that were twice to three times higher than did their non-smoking peers.
