“…The absence of significant associations of positive affect with smoking and at-risk drinking in the present study is consistent with mixed findings from prior research that investigated associations of positive affect with smoking and at-risk drinking among Latinos (Cano et al, 2017; Haslam et al, 2018; Karriker-Jaffe et al, 2016). Positive affect’s association with lower odds of insufficient fruit and vegetable consumption and insufficient physical activity aligns with prior findings among non-Latino samples (Conner et al, 2015; Kiviniemi & Duangdao, 2009; Schultchen et al, 2019).…”

“…Additionally, positive affect also was found to be indirectly associated with smoking cessation through its relationship with self-efficacy (Castro et al, 2014). Haslam et al (2018) found that anhedonia (i.e., low positive affect) was associated with failed smoking cessation when controlling for the effects of sociodemographic characteristics and heaviness of smoking; however, the relationship was not statistically significant when controlling for other symptoms of depression. Regarding atrisk drinking, one study of Latino emerging adults found that anhedonia was positively associated with alcohol use severity (Cano et al, 2017).…”

“…Another major limitation of available research is that most prior studies examined a single health risk behavior, including studies that consisted of Latino samples (Cano et al, 2017;Haslam et al, 2018;Karriker-Jaffe et al, 2016;Kiviniemi et al, 2011aKiviniemi et al, , 2011bPaulus et al, 2016). Prior studies have examined multiple health risk behaviors, but outcomes were operationalized as individual health risk behaviors (i.e., engaging in a health risk behavior vs. not; Ellis et al, 2015;Schultchen et al, 2019).…”

Objective: Negative affect is widely emphasized in behavior modification interventions. However, positive affect is associated with smoking cessation, physical activity, and healthy dietary habits and may be an important treatment target. Few studies have examined the relationship between positive affect and health behaviors among Latinos, who disproportionately experience modifiable health risk behaviors. This study examined the independent associations of positive affect and negative affect on modifiable health risk behaviors among Latino adults. Method: Data came from 432 persons who participated in one of two studies examining determinants of modifiable health risk behaviors among Latino adults. Primary outcomes were current smoking, at-risk drinking, insufficient physical activity, and insufficient fruit and vegetable consumption. Predictors were positive and negative affect as measured by the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule. Associations between positive and negative affect and health risk behaviors were examined using multiple logistic regression. Results: Positive affect was associated with lower odds of insufficient physical activity and insufficient fruit and vegetable consumption and lower odds of engaging in multiple health risk behaviors. Negative affect was associated with higher odds of at-risk drinking and current smoking. Conclusions: Emphasis on increasing positive affect may be warranted for multiple health risk behavior interventions targeting Latinos. Intervention development efforts may also consider prioritizing positive affect for physical activity and dietary interventions, and negative affect for at-drinking and smoking cessation interventions.

“…Yet, transdiagnostic models of psychopathology and addictive behavior posit basic psychological mechanisms underpin such patterns of comorbidity (Kim & Hodgins, 2018; Leventhal & Zvolensky, 2015). Findings in the present study are in line with this perspective and therefore, assessment and intervention programming for anxiety–smoking comorbidity among Latinx smokers could usefully be focused on anxiety sensitivity and presumably, other basic psychological mechanisms (e.g., anhedonia; Haslam et al, 2018; Zvolensky et al, 2021; emotion dysregulation; Zvolensky, Shepherd, et al, 2019) linked to smoking among this population. There have been integrated approaches for smoking cessation that specifically engage anxiety sensitivity in efforts to decrease interoceptive perturbation, increase smoking cessation success, and improve mental health (Smits et al, 2021; Zvolensky et al, 2014; Zvolensky, Garey, et al, 2019).…”

Hispanic/Latinx (hereafter Latinx) smokers in the United States (US) experience unique smoking cessation-related challenges. Smoking outcome expectancies (i.e., positive and negative beliefs about the consequences of smoking behavior) have been linked to the maintenance of smoking and comorbidity with negative emotional states such as anxiety among Latinx smokers. However, past work has not characterized rates of probable anxiety disorder and elevated levels of anxiety sensitivity among English-speaking daily Latinx smokers from the United States or concurrently evaluated the explanatory relevance of anxiety symptoms and anxiety sensitivity for negative and positive smoking outcome expectancies. The present investigation sought to (a) determine the base rate of probable anxiety disorder and elevated anxiety sensitivity and (b) explore the unique roles of anxiety symptoms and anxiety sensitivity in relation to negative and positive smoking outcome expectancies. Participants included 338 English-speaking Latinx adult daily cigarette smokers from the United States (Mage = 35.53 years; SD = 8.65; age range 18–61; 37.3% female). Findings revealed high rates of probable anxiety disorder (50.9%) and elevated anxiety sensitivity (73.4%) among English-speaking Latinx smokers from the United States. Anxiety sensitivity, but not anxiety symptoms or disorders, was significantly related to negative consequences, negative reinforcement, positive reinforcement, and appetite/weight control smoking outcome expectancies. Overall, anxiety experiences were common among Latinx smokers, and anxiety sensitivity was a relatively more consistent and robust predictor of negative and positive outcome expectancies relative to anxiety symptoms and probable anxiety disorder.

Despite the large public health toll of smoking, genetic studies of smoking cessation have been limited with few discoveries of risk or protective loci. We investigated common and rare variant associations with success in quitting smoking using a cohort from 8 randomized controlled trials involving 2231 participants and a total of 10,020 common and 24,147 rare variants. We identified 14 novel markers including 6 mapping to genes previously related to psychiatric and substance use disorders, 4 of which were protective (CYP2B6 (rs1175607105), HTR3B (rs1413172952; rs1204720503), rs80210037 on chr15), and 2 of which were associated with reduced cessation (PARP15 (rs2173763), SCL18A2 (rs363222)). The others mapped to areas associated with cancer including FOXP1 (rs1288980) and ZEB1 (rs7349). Network analysis identified significant canonical pathways for the serotonin receptor signaling pathway, nicotine and bupropion metabolism, and several related to tumor suppression. Two novel markers (rs6749438; rs6718083) on chr2 are flanked by genes associated with regulation of bodyweight. The identification of novel loci in this study can provide new targets of pharmacotherapy and inform efforts to develop personalized treatments based on genetic profiles.
