“…There is a recent and increasingly well-documented association between cigarette smoking and depressive and anxiety symptoms and disorders (Morrell & Cohen, 2006;Morissette, Tull, Gulliver, Kamholz, & Zimering, 2007;Patton, Carlin, Coffey, Wolfe, Hibbert, & Bowes, 1998). Indeed, epidemiological (Grant, Hasin, Chou, Stinson, & Dawson, 2004;Lasser, et al, 2000), community (Hayward, Killen, & Taylor, 1989) and clinical (Himle, Thyer, & Fischer, 1988;McCabe et al, 2004;Pohl, Yeragani, Balon, Lycaki, & McBride, 1992) studies have found that daily cigarette smoking is more common among those with anxiety and depressive psychopathology compared to those without such problems. Other studies have found that smoking, particularly at higher rates, increases the risk for developing and maintaining clinically significant anxiety and depressive symptoms (Breslau & Klein, 1999;Breslau, Novak, & Kessler, 2004;Goodwin, Lewinsohn, & Seeley, 2005;Isensee, Wittchen, Stein, Höfler, & Lieb, 2003;Johnson et al, 2000;Korhonen, et al, 2007;McLeish, Zvolensky, & Bucossi, 2007;Steuber & Banner, 2006).…”
