“…Our self-report ratings, however, support the notion that, unlike smokers, never-smokers find cigarette-related cues unpleasant (Engelmann et al, 2011; Robinson et al, 2016; Robinson et al, 2015). These findings are also supported by studies that measured peripheral physiology and showed that in never-smokers, cigarette-related cues elicited responses similar to those evoked by unpleasant stimuli (Dempsey et al, 2007; Gantiva et al, 2016; Geier et al, 2000). The moderate, negative correlation between LPP amplitude and self-reported valence ratings of cigarette-related cues further supports the conclusion that never-smokers maintain enhanced ERP responses to cigarette-related cues because they perceive them as unpleasant.…”
