“…Izadpanah et al 49 found that young people with nicotine dependence had high anxiety. Zvolensky et al 50 reported a moderate correlation between anxiety sensitivity and nicotine dependence among Latin smokers. Many smokers argue that smoking helps them cope with stress.…”

Purpose This study investigated the effect of anxiety on nicotine dependence among university students during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Design and Methods This was a descriptive and correlational study. The sample consisted of 503 university students in Turkey. Data were collected online using a demographic characteristics form, the State‐Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), and the Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND). Findings FTND scores differed by gender, family type, and grade level, while STAI scores differed by gender, income, and region of residence ( p < 0.05). Fifty‐one percent of the participants had moderate anxiety, while 65.2% had low nicotine dependence. FTND and STAI mean scores were strongly correlated ( p < 0.05). Practical Implications The higher the anxiety, the higher the nicotine dependence among university students during the COVID‐19 pandemic.

“…Additionally, the factor structure and psychometric properties of the anxiety sensitivity construct have been supported with a variety of Latinx samples (Cintrón, Carter, Suchday, Sbrocco, & Gray, 2005; Jardin et al, 2018; Sandin, Chorot, & McNally, 1996; Zvolensky et al, 2003). As in past work among Latinx smokers (Zvolensky et al, 2019), the total ASI-3 score was used in the present study (α = .97).…”

Smoking is among the most important health behaviors linked to premature death and disability among the Latinx population. Yet there is limited understanding of whether transdiagnostic factors like anxiety sensitivity may help explain smoking expectancies among Spanish-speaking Latinx smokers. The present investigation evaluated anxiety sensitivity in regard to smoking outcome expectancy factors among a large sample of adult Latinx smokers. Participants were 363 Spanish-speaking Latinx daily smokers (58.7% female, Mage = 33.3 years, SD = 9.8). As expected, anxiety sensitivity was significantly related to expectancies of negative reinforcement and negative personal consequences. Anxiety sensitivity also was a significant predictor of smoking expectancies of appetite control and positive reinforcement. The present study provides novel empirical evidence that anxiety sensitivity explains a notable degree of variance in smoking outcome expectancies over the variance accounted for by a range of theoretically relevant covariates among Latinx smokers. These results highlight the clinical utility in assessing anxiety sensitivity among Latinx smokers and focusing greater attention on this construct in efforts to better understand cognitive-based smoking expectancies among this population.

“…El enfoque más común ha consistido en combinar los enfoques tradicionales de cese del tabaquismo con las intervenciones dirigidas a los trastornos de salud mental específicos, en particular ansiedad y depresión. Sin embargo, y a pesar de estos esfuerzos valiosos, hasta la fecha los resultados a largo plazo han sido solo modestos (Leventhal y Zvolensky, 2015;Zvolensky, Bonn-Miller, Berstein y Marshall, 2006;Zvolensky et al, 2019a). En los últimos años, un enfoque alternativo innovador se orienta hacia un modelo de vulnerabilidad emocional transdiagnóstico que incluye un conjunto de factores clínicos claves que subyacen al tabaquismo y las diferentes afecciones emocionales (Leventhal y Zvolensky, 2015;Zvolensky et al, 2014a).…”
