Abstract

The current review critically examines the extant empirical literature focused on the associations among cigarette smoking, trauma, and post-traumatic stress. Inspection of the extant literature suggests that smoking rates are significantly higher among persons exposed to a traumatic event relative to those without such exposure. Moreover, smoking rates appear particularly high among persons with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In terms of the direction of this relation, evidence most clearly suggests that post-traumatic stress is involved in the development of smoking. Significantly less is known about the role of trauma and PTSD in terms of cessation outcome. Limitations of extant work, clinical implications, and key directions for future study are delineated.

  • The presence of PTSD symptoms such as hyperarousal and emotional numbing is a predictor for nicotine dependence, and these symptoms are reduced by nicotine intake.

    “Furthermore, several studies have shown that the presence of PTSD symptoms, such as hyperarousal and emotional numbing, is a predictor for nicotine dependence and these symptoms are reduced by nicotine intake (Beckham et al., 2005; Feldner et al., 2007; Greenberg et al., 2012; Thorndike, Wernicke, Pearlman, & Haaga, 2006).”

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.
