“…Previous evidence has shown that individuals with various types of mental health conditions are more likely to be smokers, more likely to be heavy smokers, and more likely to be highly dependent on cigarettes ( Anda et al, 1990 ; Bowden, Miller, & Hiller, 2011 ; Brown, Madden, Palenchar, & Cooper-Patrick, 2000 ; de Leon, Becoña, Gurpegui, Gonzalez-Pinto, & Diaz, 2002 ; de Leon & Diaz, 2005 ; Glasheen, Hedden, Forman-Hoffman, & Colpe, 2014 ; Hagman, Delnevo, Hrywna, & Williams, 2008 ; Lasser et al, 2000 ; Lawrence, Mitrou, & Zubrick, 2009 ; Lipari & Van Horn, 2017 ; Matcham et al, 2017 ; Morris, Giese, Turnbull, Dickinson, & Johnson-Nagel, 2006 ; Royal College of Physicians, Royal College of Psychiatrists, 2013 ; Szatkowski & McNeill, 2015 ). Studies have found either no association ( Prochaska et al, 2011 ; Matcham et al, 2017 ) or even a positive association ( Anzai, Young-Wolff, & Prochaska, 2015 ) between mental health conditions and desire to quit among smokers. Negative associations have also been found between having mental health conditions and odds of successful smoking cessation ( Glassman et al, 2001 ; Anda et al, 1990 ; Lasser et al, 2000 ; de Leon & Diaz, 2005 ; Hagman et al, 2008 ; McClave, McKnight-Eily, Davis, & Dube, 2010 ; Glasheen et al, 2014 ).…”
