Smoking withdrawal in smokers with and without posttraumatic stress disorder
Open accessAbstract
INTRODUCTION: Previous research on smoking withdrawal in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has been limited by the use of retrospective and observational methods and has lacked repeated assessments on the first day of abstinence and evaluation of the conditioned effects of smoking. METHODS: Smokers with (n = 17; 59% female) and without (n = 30; 17% female) PTSD completed 3 randomly ordered experimental sessions using a 2 (group: PTSD vs. non-PTSD) × 3 (smoking condition: usual brand vs. nicotine free vs. no smoking) design. Before the smoking manipulation, participants completed self-report measures of smoking urges and withdrawal, followed by withdrawal assessment after the smoking manipulation. RESULTS: Compared with smokers without PTSD, smokers with PTSD exhibited higher craving (χ₁² = 16.60, p < .001) and habit withdrawal (χ₁² = 10.38, p = .001) following overnight abstinence. PTSD smokers also exhibited worsening negative affect throughout the morning when not smoking a cigarette (χ₁² = 11.30, p = .004). After smoking, smokers with PTSD reported diminished relief from craving (χ₁² = 6.49, p = .011), negative affect (χ₁² = 4.51, p = .034), arousal (χ₁² = 6.46, p = .011), and habit withdrawal (χ₁² = 7.22, p = .007), relative to smokers without PTSD. CONCLUSIONS: Results of this preliminary investigation suggested that after overnight abstinence, PTSD smokers experienced worse withdrawal symptoms and greater urges to smoke for both positive and negative reinforcement. Research on smoking withdrawal early in the course of smoking abstinence in PTSD could inform interventions targeting abstinence early in the quit attempt.

PTSD patients showed lower rates of quitting, worse nicotine withdrawal symptoms, and shorter times to first smoking lapse than the non-PTSD population.
“PTSD patients also showed lower rates of quitting (Hapke et al., 2005; Lasser et al., 2000), suffered from worse nicotine withdrawal symptoms (Dedert et al., 2011), and as a result showed shorter times to first smoking lapse (Beckham, Calhoun, Dennis, Wilson, & Dedert, 2012) than non-PTSD population.”

Human studies suggest that smoking may alleviate symptoms associated with anxiety disorders, while nicotine abstinence worsens those symptoms and results in higher rates of reinitiation of smoking.
“While human studies suggest that smoking may alleviate the symptoms associated with anxiety disorders (Beckham et al., 2005; Feldner et al., 2007; Greenberg et al., 2012; Thorndike et al., 2006), nicotine abstinence worsens those symptoms (Dedert et al., 2011) and results in higher rates of reinitiation of smoking (Beckham et al., 2012; Hapke et al., 2005; Lasser et al., 2000).”

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.
