Interesting research has found that social media and chocolate are almost par and par when it comes to the thing that people give up for lent. Chocolate and sweets are still the most common thing to give up (18%) followed by social media (14%).
When it comes to lent, people give up the thing they feel they are most addicted to, a habit they want to kick or the thing that they feel is not good for them. It could be anything, not just something you eat or drink but also something you do. It is interesting now in 2018, that people are choosing to give up social media - something that has sadly taken over most peoples work and social lives. We do hope that individuals start to realise the negative effect social media has on them and start to retain some self-control over their daily usage.
There were plenty of other options on our list when it came to what people give up at lent. Here are some of the other results....
Caffeine - 6%
Alcohol - 5%
Smoking - 5%
Meat - 3%
Crisps - 2%
On the other hand, 47% of our respondents to this research said that they are not giving up anything !
