Smokers ‘more likely to be grumpy in the morning’
27/02/2006 - 08:17:45Irish smokers are more likely to be tired and depressed in the mornings, according to a survey commissioned by a leading nicotine replacement firm.
Almost two-thirds of smokers who responded to the survey said they didn't feel upbeat in the mornings, compared to just under one-quarter of non-smokers.
The research also found that smokers were more likely to find it difficult to get out of bed when the alarm goes off.
Forty-three per cent said they normally light up within 30 minutes of waking, while 21% have their first smoke within 10 minutes of getting up.
