Effects of Cigarette Smoking and Family History of Alcoholism on Sweet Taste Perception and Food Cravings in Women
Open accessAbstract
Background: Despite popular beliefs that smoking affects the sensitivity and liking of sweet‐tasting foods and beverages, few psychophysical studies have examined this phenomenon and none have taken into account the individual’s family history of alcoholism (FH+), a predictor of heightened sweet preferences. Methods: A within‐ and between‐subjects study was conducted to determine the effect of both cigarette smoking and an acute exposure to nicotine on sweet taste sensitivity and preferences in women. Two groups were studied on 2 days separated by 1 week: women who were current smokers (n = 27, 18 were FH+) and those who never smoked in their lifetime (n = 22, 9 were FH+). Current smokers smoked nicotine‐containing cigarettes during 1 test session and nicotine‐free cigarettes during the other. The procedures were identical during both test sessions for the group of never smokers, with the exception that they did not smoke. Two‐alternative staircase methods and forced‐choice tracking procedures were used to assess sucrose thresholds and preferences, respectively, during both test session. Standardized questionnaires were administered to assess food cravings as well as smoking and alcohol usage and dependence. The Family Interview for Genetic Studies was used to detect alcoholism according to the DSM III criteria for family members up to second‐degree relatives. Results: Acute exposure to nicotine did not affect sucrose detection thresholds or preferences, but smokers had significantly higher sucrose detection thresholds than never smokers. The greater the smoking dose in pack‐years, the lower the sucrose sensitivity. Regardless of smoking status, women who were FH+ preferred significantly higher sucrose concentrations and craved sweets more often than women who were not. Conclusions: Both smoking and having a family history of alcoholism had differential effects on sweet taste. Smoking was associated with decreased sweet taste sensitivity whereas having a family history of alcoholism was associated with heightened sweet preferences. These findings suggests that future research on the effects of smoking on food habits and cravings should take into account family history of alcoholism given its association with sweet liking and the increased likelihood to develop a tobacco disorder.

Smokers exhibit reduced sensitivity to sweet and bitter tastes, which may influence their consumption of highly palatable, energy-dense foods.
“Literature suggests that smokers exhibit reduced sensitivity to sweet and bitter tastes, which may influence their consumption of highly palatable, energy-dense foods [7].”
From Smoking and its impact on eating behavior: A review (2026) · cites this paper as [7]
The Discussion reports reduced sweet-taste sensitivity in the women studied and cites studies suggesting reduced bitter-taste sensitivity in smokers. The Conclusions say smoking may alter sweet preferences, but describe the sweet-taste literature as equivocal and the reasons for the association with sweet consumption as unknown. The proposed effect of taste sensitivity on consumption of energy-dense foods is therefore plausible in this paper, not established. (LLM, conf=0.82)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredSmoking is linked to changes in taste perception and food preferences.
“Moreover, smoking has been linked to changes in taste perception and food preferences.”
From Smoking and its impact on eating behavior: A review (2026) · cites this paper as [7]
The Conclusions report that smoking was associated with decreased sweet-taste sensitivity, and the Results report more frequent cravings for carbohydrates and high-fat foods among current smokers. However, the Discussion attributes greater liking for sweets to family history of alcoholism rather than smoking; the paper does not establish a change in food preferences due to smoking. (LLM, conf=0.84)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredSmoking is associated with decreased sensitivity to sweet, which may influence food preferences and consumption patterns.
“Additionally, smoking has been associated with decreased sensitivity to sweet. Literature indicates that smokers have a reduced ability to perceive sweetness, which may influence their food preferences and consumption patterns [7].”

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.
