Spanish Study Shows Smoking-Sport Link

Spanish researchers say they have found a direct relation between sports and cutting adolescent tobacco usage.

Samplings of 3,000 adolescents ages 13 to 18 found 80 percent of those who played a sport did not smoke. This compared to 71.4 percent of physically inactive adolescents, reported researchers of the University of Granada, the Spanish National Research Council, the Universities of Murcia, Zaragoza and Cantabria and the Nuestra Senora de la Consolacion School of Granada. Their findings, summarized in a press release, are being published in the journal Nutricion Hospitalaria.
