“…Simultaneously, the results of the present study revealed no correlation between smoking with life satisfaction and happiness. These findings are in the same line with Churchill & Farrell's (2017) study that being addicted to smoking can have a lower impact on happiness and (Weinhold & Chaloupka, 2017)'s findings that stop smoking can positively affect people's SWB.…”

“…One study was trying to address this issue using two-stage least square (2SLS) with endogenous instrumental variable, but this was a cross-sectional study without follow-up. 13 Such cross-sectional designs suffer from reverse causality issues. Since previous study had already found out that worse QoL is associated with smoking initiation, 14 this bias could be serious.…”

Background Whether smoking is associated with worse quality of life (QoL) or not is relatively controversial. The current study is to investigate the relationship between smoking and subjective QoL in a long cohort study. Methods The NIPPON DATA 90 project collected 8,383 community residents in 300 randomly selected areas as baseline data in 1990, administered four follow-up QoL surveys, and evaluated mortality statistics. We conducted multinomial logistic regression analysis to compare past smokers and current smokers to never smokers, with impaired QoL and mortality as outcomes. Results In four follow-ups, QoL data was collected from 2,035, 2,252, 2,522, and 3,280 participants in 1995, 2000, 2005, and 2012, respectively. In the 1995 follow-up, current smoking at baseline was not associated with worse QoL. In 2000 and 2005 follow-ups, smoking was significantly associated with worse QoL (odds ratio [OR] 2.1; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.33–3.36 and OR 2.29; 95% CI, 1.38–3.80, respectively). In the 2012 follow-up, smoking was not associated with QoL. Sensitivity analysis did not change the result significantly. Conclusion In this study we found that baseline smoking was associated with worse QoL in long-follow-up.

Living a better and happy life (well-being) is a key point for people’s daily life. Well-being integrates both of physical and psychological health namely feelings, emotions, and life satisfaction. This means that good life is when people are physically fit and they are satisfied with their life. There have been few studies investigating the relationship between physical activity and life satisfaction in Indonesia. Therefore, this quantitative study is aimed to examine the association between sport and well-being, especially the frequency of physical activity and life satisfaction. The data used are from the fifth wave of the Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) 2014, with 31,669 participants from 15,160 households and 297 districts in Indonesia. Linear regression is used for data analysis, adjusting for control variables. The results show that the more frequent people exercise, the more they are satisfied with their lives, even after controlling for a set of confounding variables. Different measures need to be taken to increase physical activity as parts of people’s daily life in order to protect their health and enjoy a better life.
