Smoking has been found to be another factor that contributes towards sleep disorders. Apparently this stems from the fact that smoking results in poor sleep due to nicotine withdrawals that essentially leads to poor sleep.
We have already identified smoking as an obvious health risk and being chosen as another reason for sleep deprived individuals should not really be surprising.
Scientists from Johns Hopkins University studied 40 people who reported smoking at least 20 cigarettes per day and claimed to have no health problems. The researchers also studied the same numbers of non-smokers.
