We all want to make changes, but unfortunately, too many of our resolutions don't make it past the first week in January.
The need to make healthy changes in your lifestyle has never been more clear: the recent U.S. Surgeon General's report focuses on the impact of overweight on our health, estimating that 300,000 Americans die each year from illnesses caused or worsened by obesity.
Add to that the 430,000 Americans who die from tobacco use each year, and you have plenty of reasons to quit smoking, eat more healthfully, and start walking.
Instead, set specific goals that are achievable ("I will walk for 15 minutes, four days per week.")

Given the strong findings from previous research of the moderating role of problem solving on stress-related depression, a promising area of research is the examination of problem solving as a moderator of depression and smoking behavior.
Two additional psychosocial variables that would be important to investigate in future studies are anxiety and hostility.
