According to a recent poll conducted by the Nigeria Liquefied Petroleum Gas Association (NLPGA), which seeks to gauge the impact of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) on consumers' lifestyles, the primary lifestyle impact reported by major LPG consumers, also known as cooking gas, is a cleaner lifestyle. The NLPGA, the overarching organization representing all stakeholders in Nigeria's LPG sector, conducts these monthly polls to gather consumer feedback on how LPG affects their way of life. Out of those polled, 61% said that a cleaner lifestyle was the topmost influence on their use of LPG, while 35% reported that LPG improves efficiency, and the remaining 4% claimed it reduces safety risks.

The poll results indicating that a cleaner lifestyle is the topmost influence on the use of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) by major consumers in Nigeria could have several implications for both Nigerian consumers and the LPG industry in the country.

Firstly, the poll results suggest that Nigerian consumers are becoming more environmentally conscious and are prioritizing cleaner energy sources. This could lead to an increased demand for LPG as a cleaner alternative to other traditional fuels such as firewood and charcoal, which are known to contribute to deforestation and air pollution. Increased demand for LPG could drive investment in the LPG sector and lead to the growth of related industries such as LPG distribution and storage.

Secondly, the poll results may also incentivize the Nigerian government to provide more support for the LPG industry, such as policies that encourage the adoption of LPG as a cleaner alternative to traditional fuels. For example, the government could provide subsidies to LPG producers or offer tax breaks to consumers who use LPG for cooking.

Overall, the poll results indicating that a cleaner lifestyle is the topmost influence on the use of LPG by Nigerian consumers could have positive implications for the environment, the LPG industry, and the Nigerian economy as a whole.
