“…Physiological stress may partially explain why women with PTSD are vulnerable to smoking and substance use as a means of coping with stress during pregnancy. Among women veterans, military sexual trauma is linked with risk for PTSD and substance use disorders (Booth et al, 2011; Kimerling et al, 2007; Stahlman et al, 2015) and are related to difficulty quitting smoking (Wilson et al, 2019).…”

“…Tobacco cessation interventions that help pregnant veterans identify potential social, practical, and economic supports in their community may also increase successful quit attempts. Women veterans prefer smoking cessation treatment that is versatile, customizable, with the option for intensive, multiple-month format (Katzburg et al, 2008, 2009; Wilson et al, 2019).…”

This study investigated prevalence and factors associated with prenatal smoking among US women veterans using cross-sectional data from a cohort study of veterans from recent wars utilizing Veterans Health Administration primary care ( N = 6190). Among the participants, 747 (12.0%) were current smokers and 1039 (16.8%) were former smokers. Multivariable logistic regression indicated that White race, substance use disorder, and posttraumatic stress disorder were associated with increased likelihood of smoking during pregnancy. Conversely, being married and officer rank were associated with decreased likelihood of prenatal smoking. Findings suggest a need for empirical testing of interventions to address perinatal smoking, substance use, and mental health.

A Permissible Sin: Perceptions of Smoking Among Haredi Men in Israel

This essay deals with perceptions of smoking among Haredi men in Israel. Though trends in smoking within the Haredi society have been quantitively examined, no qualitative research has ever focused on the motivations and mindsets stimulating individuals’ choices to take health risks despite religious precepts to the contrary. Israeli Haredi men sometimes start smoking in their early childhood and are unmotivated to quit, and such circumstances should be examined. We interviewed 20 Israeli Haredi male smokers and overviewed the Haredi daily press and rabbinical attitudes toward smoking. Our findings indicate that Haredi men typically consider smoking as either permissible or, at worst, a minor sin. From childhood they view smoking as an expression of maturity, and moreover one which is associated with Jewish holidays and particular religious practices. Such perception relies on the Haredi establishment's normative exclusion of smoking from the Halachic commandments that aim to protect health. Finally, we illustrate key points to consider in paths leading to an intervention process to change these norms and practices.

College students’ preferences for tobacco treatment: a discrete choice experiment

The purpose of this study was to elicit preferences for the ‘format’ and ‘content’ of tobacco treatment among college student smokers, using an online discrete choice experiment (DCE) survey. A DCE survey, supplemented with a think-aloud method, was conducted among 54 college students who smoked combustible cigarettes and/or e-cigarettes. Conditional logistic regression models were constructed to determine optimal profiles of treatment. Cutting down nicotine rather than quitting ‘cold turkey’ (P < 0.001) and two-way communication (P < 0.001) were viewed as the most critical attributes for the intervention ‘format’; changing behaviors rather than social groups/peers (P < 0.001) and autonomy (P < 0.001) were viewed as the most critical attributes for the intervention ‘content’. Some preferences varied based on smoking subgroups. Combustible cigarette users preferred interventions with a longer time commitment (P < 0.05) and without nicotine replacement therapies (NRTs) (P < 0.001). Think-aloud data supported the DCE findings and further revealed a strong desire for cutting down nicotine and keeping social groups/peers and misconceptions regarding NRTs. Our study findings can guide tobacco treatment tailored to college students. These treatments should be tailored to specific smoker subgroups.
