Sensory blockade of smoking satisfaction

Abstract

Cigarette smokers were presented with controlled doses of cigarette smoke to determine whether the resulting reduction in cigarette craving depended upon perceiving the sensory qualities of the smoke. Cigarette craving was assessed before and after inhaling controlled doses of smoke in two conditions: (1) Local anesthesia of the upper and lower respiratory airways, induced by mouth rinsing, gargling and inhalation of a mist containing the topical anesthetic lidocaine; and (2) no-anesthesia control, in which all solutions were saline. A sham smoking procedure was presented in both conditions. Craving and ad lib smoking behavior were also assessed 30 minutes after controlled smoking. The results indicated that smoke, as opposed to sham puffs, significantly reduced reports of cigarette craving, and local anesthesia significantly blocked this immediate reduction in craving produced by smoke inhalation. Puffs were also rated as less desirable in the anesthesia condition. Thirty minutes after smoking, craving was no different in the anesthesia and saline control conditions. However, craving as well as smoking intake in both conditions was less when smoke had been given previously than in the sham smoking control. These results suggest that sensory cues accompanying inhalation of cigarette smoke are important determinants of immediate smoking satisfaction. However, the sustained effects of smoke intake on subsequent smoking behavior (30 min later) may be mediated by processes other than sensory stimulation of the respiratory tract, such as plasma nicotine levels.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
