Anxiety sensitivity and anxiety and depressive symptoms in the prediction of early smoking lapse and relapse during smoking cessation treatment
Open accessAbstract
INTRODUCTION: The present investigation examined whether anxiety sensitivity, relative to anxiety and depressive symptoms, was related to duration to early smoking lapse and relapse (during first 2 weeks postquit) among daily smokers receiving smoking cessation treatment. METHODS: Participants included 123 daily cigarette smokers (84 women; M(age) = 45.93 years, SD = 10.34) living in the Halifax Regional Municipality in Nova Scotia, Canada. RESULTS: Anxiety sensitivity was significantly associated with an increased risk of early smoking lapse (i.e., any smoking behavior) at days 1, 7, and 14 following the quit day. Such effects were evident above and beyond the variance accounted for by gender, nicotine dependence, and nicotine withdrawal symptoms, as well as the shared variance with prequit (baseline) anxiety and depressive symptoms. In contrast to expectation, anxiety sensitivity was not related to smoking relapse (i.e., seven consecutive days of smoking) during the first 2 weeks of quitting. DISCUSSION: Results are discussed in terms of better understanding the role of anxiety sensitivity, along with other affective vulnerability processes, in early problems encountered during a quit attempt.

TL;DR
Among daily smokers in a 4-week group cessation program, higher anxiety sensitivity predicted earlier smoking lapse during the first 2 weeks post-quit but did not predict relapse. Depressive symptoms, not anxiety symptoms, predicted early relapse.
Key findings
- Anxiety sensitivity (ASI-Total) was significantly associated with lapse at day 1 (OR = 1.04, p < .05), day 7 (HR = 1.02, p < .05), and day 14 (HR = 1.02, p < .05), above gender, nicotine dependence, nicotine withdrawal, and baseline anxiety/depressive symptoms.
- Anxiety sensitivity was not significantly related to relapse; instead, depressive symptoms (MASQ-AD) predicted relapse at day 1 (OR = 1.07, p < .01), day 7 (HR = 1.05, p < .01), and day 14 (HR = 1.03, p = .01).
- Depressive symptoms also predicted day 1 lapse (OR = 1.04, p < .05), while anxious arousal (MASQ-AA) was not significantly associated with lapse or relapse.
- By day 14 postcessation, 74.5% (n = 79) lapsed and 45.7% (n = 48) relapsed; at day 1, 52.9% lapsed and 24.5% relapsed; at day 7, 68.3% lapsed and 28.2% relapsed.
Methods
- Prospective study of 123 daily cigarette smokers (84 women; M age = 45.93 years) recruited from a structured 4-week group Tobacco Intervention Program in Halifax, Nova Scotia; analyses included 106 participants with smoking calendar data at or following the quit day.
- Baseline measures included the Smoking History Questionnaire, Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence, Minnesota Nicotine Withdrawal Scale (quit day), Mood and Anxiety Symptom Questionnaire (Anxious Arousal and Anhedonic Depression subscales), and Anxiety Sensitivity Index.
- Participants completed daily smoking calendar logs for 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after the quit date; analyses used zero-order correlations, logistic regression for day 1 lapse/relapse, and Cox proportional hazards regression for day 7 and day 14 outcomes, with gender, FTND, and MWS as covariates.
Limitations
- The paper states the sample was relatively homogeneous (e.g., primarily White) and self-selected, limiting generalizability; it also notes the study included only some possible emotional risk factors, relied on self-reported smoking logs without biochemical verification, lacked diagnostic assessments, and did not fix the quit date relative to the 4-week program.
- The treatment context may limit conclusions about anxiety sensitivity and relapse: the authors note that evidence-based cessation care may have helped anxiety-sensitive smokers recover from lapses, and suggest future self-guided quit attempts or longer follow-up may be needed.
- The 2-week post-quit timeframe may have been too short to detect anxiety sensitivity–relapse effects, as the authors state.

NRT use did not confound the relationships between the predictors (anxiety sensitivity, anxiety, depressive symptoms, nicotine dependence) and early lapse/relapse.
“Participants had the option of using nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) during the study (see Measures and Procedure), and all accepted the optional NRT.”

The association between anxiety sensitivity and early lapse/relapse is not due to unmeasured confounding.

The timing of quit dates relative to the 4-week program averaged out across participants.
“Although this timing should have averaged out across participants, it would be ideal to standardize the quit date relative to the program start in future research.”

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.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-09, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-09 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
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.
