Unable to add properties to a object using $.each() function

Question

I have a object habits contain some values

var habits={
       "Drinking":"No",
       "Smoking":"No"
       }

I need to add the values in this variable to another variable in this format

var NewHabits=new Object();
    NewHabits.Drinking="No";
    NewHabits.Smoking="No";

My habits variable is big so i decided to add values using jquery $.each() function

var NewHabits=new Object();
  $.each(habits,function(index, value)
{
 NewHabits.index=value;
 }

But after executing this code i am getting value in NewHabits variable as below

 "index":"No","index":"No"

the problem is giving variable like this NewHabits.index
Please help me to solve this
