Depressive Symptoms and Cigarette Demand as a Function of Induced Stress

Tobacco demand, delay discounting, and smoking topography among smokers with and without psychopathology

“…No group differences were evident in P max , breakpoint, or elasticity. These findings provide unique evidence that smokers with psychopathology in nicotine-deprived states have greater amplitude of tobacco demand (i.e., value of greater amounts of tobacco) relative to smokers without psychopathology, but not persistence of demand (Bidwell et al, 2012; O’Connor et al, 2016), which compliments prior work in depression and serious mental illness that examine demand under stress-induced and nicotine-sated states (Dahne et al, 2017b; MacKillop and Tidey, 2011). Additionally, contrary to our hypothesis, DD did not significantly differ in smokers with and without psychopathology.…”

“…Limited work has examined the impact of psychopathology on tobacco demand. Initial studies indicate that elevated depression symptoms and emotional disorders are associated with higher tobacco demand indices, especially under stress (Dahne et al, 2017a) or nicotine-deprived states (Farris et al, 2017). Other work has found that smokers with schizophrenia had higher intensity of demand, relative to healthy controls, when completing a hypothetical CPT under satiated states (MacKillop and Tidey, 2011).…”

Ecological momentary analysis of the relations among stressful events, affective reactivity, and smoking among smokers with high versus low depressive symptoms during a quit attempt

“…No studies to date have investigated whether pre‐cessation depressive symptoms moderate the acute or persistent impact of stressful events on smoking, affect, and affect–smoking relations during a quit attempt. Studies examining relations between smoking and stress reactivity often employ laboratory paradigms to examine these constructs in a controlled environment. However, these methods do not provide information regarding the differential effects of post‐stress experience on smoking behavior in natural contexts or during ongoing change efforts.…”

Influence of donors’ cigarette smoking on recipients’ postoperative survival and complications after simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation

“…Blood supply is one of the key factors in graft survival, thus, we surmise that the organs from donors who smoked cigarettes might have been inferior for post-transplant survival. Furthermore, people's tendency to become addicted to cigarette smoking [3], might explain the considerable portion of donors who had a cigarette smoking history. Thus, it is necessary to examine the survival rates of patients who receive organs from smoking donors.…”

“…To some degree, citizens must cope with higher social anxiety because of the widening wealth gap and faster pace of life. The experience of peer-victimization, depression and social marginalization has been reported to be associated with an increase some individuals' tendency to indulge in drug and tobacco use [3]. The prevalence of smoking has been gradually decreasing because of the efforts of governments and societies, according to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, in 2016.…”
