“…In line with the results of the present study, various investigations (36,37) also have shown that criticism by parents as well as poor parenting throughout their childhood can be correlated with the tendency to smoke in adolescents in such a way that history of poor parenting throughout their childhood can predict nicotine dependence in adulthood and consequently, individuals with a higher dosage, are more inclined to smoke (38).…”

Background: Tobacco use is one of the major preventable causes of death in the world and is one of the most prevalent public health problems in Iran. Cigarette cravings are influenced by various psycho-social factors. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate craving a cigarette based on perceived criticism by parents, dose of usage, and emotional self-regulation in adolescents. Methods: This study was performed as a cross-sectional self-reported questionnaire and structural equation modeling. A sample of 350 male students were randomly selected from different high schools in Isfahan. Three questionnaires including Hooked on nicotine checklist, emotion regulation inventory, and perceived criticism scale were employed. Data were analyzed using the Chisquare, correlation coefficient, and structural modeling tests. In this regard, SPSS and AMOS software were used. Results:The results of this study showed that 34.4% of students had experienced smoking more than 20 cigarettes throughout their lifetime. There was a significant correlation between emotional reappraisal (r =-0.48), expressive suppression (r = -0.58), and perceived criticism (r = 0.56) with cigarette cravings (P < 0.001). In addition to direct effect, perceived criticism through the emotional self-regulation and dose of usage had indirect effects on nicotine cravings. A total of 61% of variance in cravings towards nicotine was explained by the variables. Discussion and Conclusion: In total, the results of this study revealed that high levels of smoking tendency in students is a crucial issue; therefore, students' psychological problems such as negative experiences is associated with criticism by parents, adaptive emotion-regulation strategies, and prevention of smoking. Cautions regarding adverse health and social consequences of smoking to students should be taken into consideration by authorities and families.

“…Clinical studies indicate a strong positive relationship between repeated adverse childhood experiences and substance use disorders in adulthood (Fuller-Thomson et al, 2016; Gerra et al, 2016; Giordano et al, 2014; Koskenvuo & Koskenvuo, 2015; LeTendre & Reed, 2017; Merrick et al, 2017; Rossow & Lauritzen, 2001). In the small number of clinical studies that have examined accumbal function in either human adolescents or adults reporting experiences of repeated social and non-social juvenile stress, hypoactivity of the NAc in response to either reward-related stimuli or reward anticipation is observed (Goff et al, 2013; Boecker et al 2014; Corral-Frias et al, 2015; Hanson et al, 2015, 2016; but see Casement et al, 2014).…”

Repeated exposure to stress during childhood is associated with increased risk for neuropsychiatric illness, substance use disorders and other behavioral problems in adulthood. However, it is not clear how chronic childhood stress can lead to emergence of such a wide range of symptoms and disorders in later life. One possible explanation lies in stress-induced disruption to the development of specific brain regions associated with executive function and reward processing, deficits in which are common to the disorders promoted by childhood stress. Evidence of aberrations in prefrontal cortex and nucleus accumbens function following repeated exposure of juvenile (pre- and adolescent) organisms to a variety of different stressors would account not only for the similarity in symptoms across the wide range of childhood stress-associated mental illnesses, but also their persistence into adulthood in the absence of further stress. Therefore, the goal of this review is to evaluate the current knowledge regarding disruption to executive function and reward processing in adult animals or humans exposed to chronic stress over the juvenile period, and the underlying neurobiology, with particular emphasis on the prefrontal cortex and nucleus accumbens. First, the role of these brain regions in mediating executive function and reward processing is highlighted. Second, the neurobehavioral development of these systems is discussed to illustrate how juvenile stress may exert long-lasting effects on prefrontal cortex-accumbal activity and related behavioral functions. Finally, a critical review of current animal and human findings is presented, which strongly supports the supposition that exposure to chronic stress (particularly social aggression and isolation in animal studies) in the juvenile period produces impairments in executive function in adulthood, especially in working memory and inhibitory control. Chronic juvenile stress also results in aberrations to reward processing and seeking, with increased sensitivity to drugs of abuse particularly noted in animal models, which is in line with greater incidence of substance use disorders seen in clinical studies. These consequences are potentially mediated by monoamine and glutamatergic dysfunction in the prefrontal cortex and nucleus accumbens, providing translatable therapeutic targets. However, the predominant use of male subjects and social-based stressors in preclinical studies points to a clear need for determining how both sex differences and stressor heterogeneity may differentially contribute to stress-induced changes to substrates mediating executive function and reward processing, before the impact of chronic juvenile stress in promoting adult psychopathology can be fully understood.

“…There are a variety of possible reasons for this greater consumption, and they need to be studied in more depth. Concerning several possible explanations for our findings, Gerra et al (2016) found an association between early childhood adversity, psychological distress, and vulnerability to tobacco dependence in adulthood. On the other hand, Huibregtse et al (2016), who analyzed the magnitude of genetic, shared, and nonshared environmental influences on substance use (tobacco, alcohol, and marijuana) from ages 14 to 18 years using a prospective longitudinal design, found a trend toward increasing genetic influences on tobacco and alcohol use across ages.…”

Although adoptive families have been shown to provide a protective context for human development, some adopted children and adolescents are at increased risk for psychological adjustment problems. On the other hand, little is known about psychological adjustment of young adult adoptees. The aim of this study is to analyze the mental health and legal substance consumption (tobacco and alcohol) of young adults (n = 134) who were domestically adopted by Spanish families. Young adults showed significantly worse scores on the Symptom Check-List-90-R (Derogatis, 1975) and also more substance use than did the Spanish general population, but fewer difficulties than did the clinical population. On the Global Severity Index (GSI), 65.7% of adoptees were within the normal range, 24.6% were at risk, and 9.7% were within the clinical range. Male adoptees scored higher than expected for the general population on all subscales, whereas female adoptees did not. Age at adoption was not found to have a significant impact on adjustment.
