MORE than 30 per cent of people in the West Midlands feel unhappy with their lives, a survey has found.

According to the study, commissioned by blu eCigs, 37 per cent of people asked said they were unhappy with their lives, saying financial worries, dead-end relationships and unfulfilling jobs are the main reasons behind this.

Sixty two per cent of people say they feel trapped in the same old routine and only 10 per cent described themselves as very happy with their image.

Jacob Fuller, chief executive of blu eCigs, said: “A lot of people set out to make changes to their lives in January but find it a struggle and end up facing a case of the January blues. The results show that making smaller, positive lifestyle changes rather than setting drastic unattainable targets is the best route to improve overall happiness.”
