Abstract

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common and impairing disorder affecting millions of children, adolescents, and adults. Individuals with ADHD smoke cigarettes at rates significantly higher than their non-diagnosed peers and the disorder also confers risk for a number of related adverse smoking outcomes including earlier age of initiation, faster progression to regular use, heavier smoking/greater dependence, and more difficulty quitting. Progress in our understanding of dopamine neurotransmission and basic behavioral reinforcement processes in ADHD may help increase our understanding of the ADHD-smoking comorbidity. This review will examine how these areas have been studied and how further work may aid in the development of better prevention and treatment for smoking in those with ADHD.

  • Teen smokers are significantly more likely to develop psychiatric disorders than non-smokers.

    “Teen smokers are significantly more likely to use other drugs (Lai et al. 2000; Hanna et al. 2001; Biederman et al. 2006), engage in high-risk sexual behavior (Rashad & Kaestner, 2004; Jackson et al. 2012), and develop psychiatric disorders than non-smokers (McKenzie et al. 2010; Kollins & Adcock, 2014).”

    The Introduction (page not provided) says that ADHD is a risk factor for smoking and that people with ADHD tend to start smoking earlier. The retrieved passages do not address whether teen smokers are more likely than non-smokers to develop psychiatric disorders; searches for that comparison and for subsequent disorders found no supporting passage.

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.
