Cigarette smoking and major depression

Covey, Lirio S., Glassman, Alexander H., Stetner, Fay·1998·Journal of Addictive Diseases

Abstract

The authors review recent literature that has demonstrated an association between cigarette smoking behavior and major depression. Persons with major depression are more likely to smoke and to have difficulty when they try to stop. When they manage to succeed in stopping, such persons are at increased risk of experiencing mild to severe states of depression, including full blown major depression. The period of vulnerability to a new depressive episode appears to vary from a few weeks to several months after cessation. This knowledge suggests a relationship between smoking and depression that is complex, pernicious, and potentially life-long. It is recommended that cessation treatments incorporate screening procedures that will identify those patients with a propensity to depression and monitor the emergence of postcessation depression, particularly in those with a history of depression.

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.
