“…This research compared participants from a study designed to develop a measure of smokers’ abstinence-related expectancies, the details of which can be found elsewhere (Hendricks et al, in press; Hendricks, Wood, Baker, Delucchi, & Hall, 2011). Participants were 507 non-treatment-seeking smokers recruited from the San Francisco Bay Area via community advertisements.…”

Drug-involved smokers may be less motivated to quit smoking because they expect smoking cessation to occasion adverse outcomes (e.g., exacerbation of drug use). Non-treatment-seeking adult smokers from the community (N = 507) reported drug involvement, expectancies for smoking abstinence via the Smoking Abstinence Questionnaire (SAQ), and motivation to quit smoking (desire to quit and abstinence goal). Mediation analyses evaluated the indirect effects of binge drinking, marijuana, cocaine, other stimulant, opiate, and barbiturate/other sedative involvement on motivation to quit smoking through the SAQ Adverse Outcomes scale. Adverse outcomes expectancies accounted for a reduced desire to quit smoking and a lower likelihood of endorsing a goal of complete smoking abstinence among those involved with binge drinking, marijuana, cocaine, other stimulants, opiates, and barbiturates/other sedatives. Drug-involved smokers’ greater expectancies for adverse outcomes upon quitting smoking may deter smoking quit attempts. Interventions are encouraged to counteract the notion that smoking cessation jeopardizes sobriety.

“…These findings suggest that reinforcement from smoking and abstinence-induced withdrawal might be particularity important factors for smoking in women, which could enhance the development of expectancies for such outcomes. Indeed, research suggests that women report stronger negative reinforcement smoking expectancies and smoking abstinence withdrawal expectancies [14–16]. …”

Given that prior research implicates smoking abstinence in increased premenstrual symptoms, tobacco withdrawal, and smoking behaviors, it is possible that women with more severe premenstrual symptoms have stronger expectancies about the effects of smoking and abstaining from smoking on mood and withdrawal. However, such relations have not been previously explored. This study examined relations between premenstrual symptoms experienced in the last month and expectancies that abstaining from smoking results in withdrawal (i.e., smoking abstinence withdrawal expectancies), that smoking is pleasurable (i.e., positive reinforcement smoking expectancies), and smoking relieves negative mood (i.e., negative reinforcement smoking expectancies). In a cross-sectional design, 97 non-treatment seeking women daily smokers completed self-report measures of smoking reinforcement expectancies, smoking abstinence withdrawal expectancies, premenstrual symptoms, mood symptoms, and nicotine dependence. Affect premenstrual symptoms were associated with increased negative reinforcement smoking expectancies, but not over and above covariates. Affect and pain premenstrual symptoms were associated with increased positive reinforcement smoking expectancies, but only affect premenstrual symptoms remained significant in adjusted models. Affect, pain, and water retention premenstrual symptoms were associated with increased smoking abstinence withdrawal expectancies, but only affect premenstrual symptoms remained significant in adjusted models. Findings from this study suggest that addressing concerns about withdrawal and alternatives to smoking may be particularly important in women who experience more severe premenstrual symptoms, especially affect-related changes.

“…One study found that perceptions of risk were associated with treatment outcomes for women; as ratings of perceptions of risk increased, women were four times more likely to relapse than men (McKee et al, 2005). Compared with men, women were more likely to expect withdrawal effects and weight gain (Hendricks et al, 2014). An evaluation by Holmberg-Schwartz (1997) shows that the more confident women are about not smoking in a variety of situations, the fewer cigarettes they smoke per day.…”

Despite high rates of smoking among some subgroups of women, there is a lack of tailored interventions to address smoking cessation among women. We identify components of a women-centered approach to tobacco cessation by analyzing 3 bodies of literature: sex and gender influences in tobacco use and addiction; evidence-based tobacco cessation guidelines; and best practices in delivery of women-centered care. Programming for underserved women should be tailored, build confidence and increase motivation, integrate social justice issues and address inequities, and be holistic and comprehensive. Addressing the complexity of women's smoking and tailoring appropriately could help address smoking among subpopulations of women.

In a substance use treatment center for women in Vancouver, Canada, in 2003, 79% of residential participants and 71% of day program participants reported being current smokers (Malmo, 2007).Findings from several studies that examined gender differences in tobacco dependence and treatment suggest that some subpopulations of women might encounter more challenges in quitting than women in general or men. A study examining cessation rates and treatment response among 2,850 participants found that women, Blacks, and smokers with lower levels of education were less likely to successfully quit smoking, compared to men, Whites, and smokers with high levels of education (Piper et al., 2010). Husky and colleagues found that women with substance use disorders were significantly more likely to smoke than men (Husky et al., 2007). An evaluation of a tobacco cessation intervention for patients with serious mental illness showed a significant difference in treatment effectiveness by gender, with men achieving a higher cessation rate compared to women (69% vs. 31%) (Currie et al., 2008). RESPONSES IN TOBACCO CONTROLEvidence such as this raises important questions about effective smoking cessation treatment for women and girls, and subpopulations of women who are vulnerable to tobacco use. The prevalence of smoking among specific subgroups of women suggests that cessation approaches currently available are (Graham, 2009), and is also a means of managing difficult emotions and facilitating social cohesion (Greaves, 1996). Yet, tobacco cessation treatment interventions have failed to address the full context of women's smoking and social and economic determinants of women's health.Generally, tobacco control efforts have focused on comprehensive approaches aimed ...
