Cycling is key to quitting smoking

I’m a little out of sync with National No Smoking Day and should’ve posted this last week. StaffNurse.com writes “A cycling machine or a breath of fresh air may be enough to help smokers beat their cravings. Exercise is one of the best ways for smokers to manage their cravings when they are trying to give up, according to the Exeter University study.”

Is that ‘manage their cravings’ by distracting them with the pain of exercise? I don’t suppose it really matters, but as many as four million people may be inspired to get riding not puffing in light of Britain’s imminent ban on smoking in public places and workplaces on July 1 (already happened in Scotland and in effect from April 2nd in Wales).
