“…Also, given that alcohol appears to enhance the rewarding effects of nicotine (Glautier et al, 1996;Rose et al, 2002Rose et al, , 2004) and nicotine appears to enhance the rewarding effects of alcohol (Kouri et al, 2004;Perkins et al, 1995), the association between increasing levels of tobacco and alcohol use may reflect bidirectional influences in which the use of one substance makes use of the other substance more rewarding and therefore more likely to progress to greater use. Prior longitudinal research with adolescents and young adults has found that greater alcohol use prospectively predicts greater tobacco use and vice versa (Jackson et al, 2002).…”

Greater understanding of how alcohol use relates to the initiation, progression, and persistence of cigarette smoking is of great significance for efforts to prevent and treat smoking and excessive drinking and their substantial combined iatrogenic effects on health. Studies investigating the relationship between levels of alcohol involvement and smoking have typically been limited by analytic approaches that treat drinking behavior and alcohol use disorder diagnoses as separate phenomena rather than as indicators of a single latent alcohol involvement dimension. The purposes of the present study were (a) to create a lifetime index of alcohol involvement that integrates information about alcohol consumption and alcohol problems into a single measure and (b) to relate this index to initiation of smoking, progression from initiation to daily smoking, progression from initiation to dependence, and persistence of smoking. Rasch model analyses of data from 1,508 middle-aged (34-44 years) adults showed that creating an additive index of lifetime alcohol involvement was psychometrically supported. Significant quadratic effects of alcohol involvement on initiation, progression, and persistence of smoking demonstrated that there were specific regions of the alcohol involvement continuum that were particularly strongly related to increased smoking. These results provide the most comprehensive depiction to date of the nature of the relationship between lifetime alcohol involvement and lifetime cigarette smoking and suggest potential avenues for research on the etiology and maintenance of smoking and tobacco dependence.

“…Alcohol use can potentiate the rewarding effects of smoking (Glautier et al, 1996;Rose et al, 2002Rose et al, , 2004, which could increase motivation to smoke. Thus, greater levels of alcohol involvement may be associated with a consistent linear increase in the odds of progressing to daily smoking.…”

“…Animal and human laboratories demonstrate that alcohol administration promotes increased smoking (e.g. Mitchell et al 1995;Glautier et al 1996). Alternately, individuals may use nicotine to counteract alcohol's debilitating effects on cognitive skills (Kerr et al 1991;Madden et al 1995).…”

“…Laboratory studies manipulating the use of one substance have demonstrated greater use of the other, particularly increased smoking when alcohol consumption is manipulated (e.g. Mitchell et al 1995;Glautier et al 1996). Additionally, nicotine administration is associated with increased ethanol consumption in animals (Blomqvist et al 1996).…”

Adolescent alcohol and tobacco use: onset, persistence and trajectories of use across two samples

Aims-We examined the alcohol-tobacco relationship using two prospective, ethnically diverse samples. Trajectories of alcohol and tobacco use are portrayed overall and by sex and ethnicity. Using prospective analyses, we examine directional influences between alcohol and tobacco use, and we characterize initiation versus persistence of drinking and smoking as a function of use of the other substance.Design, setting-Data were from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (AddHealth) and the Adolescent Health Risk Study (AHRS). Follow-up intervals for AddHealth and AHRS were 1 and 5 years, respectively.Participants-AddHealth respondents (n = 4831) were on average 14.8 years old (48% male, 23% black, 61% white) and AHRS respondents (n = 1814) were on average 16.7 years old (47% male, 44% black, 49% white).Measurements-Two alcohol consumption variables and two smoking variables were used: drinking frequency and heavy drinking frequency, and regular (current) smoking and daily number of cigarettes.Findings-Alcohol and tobacco use exhibited monotonic increases over adolescence and young adulthood. Men and white respondents reported more use than women and black respondents. Alcohol and tobacco were moderately associated at both times. Analyses revealed that prior alcohol use predicted tobacco use more strongly than the converse. Initiation of smoking was a function of prior drinking; to a lesser extent, initiation of drinking was a function of prior smoking. Persistence of smoking was a function of prior drinking and persistence of drinking was a function of prior smoking.Conclusions-Provisional support exists for the claim that alcohol use predicts tobacco use more strongly than the converse. For both drinking and smoking, onset and persistence are predicted by prior use of the other substance, and these associations were robust across sex and ethnicity.

“…This might increase the appeal of alcohol during the early stages of a quit attempt. However, whilst drinking might be beneficial in normalising hedonic tone and emotional reactivity, it has been found elsewhere that alcohol cross-primes the urge to smoke (Hillemacher et al 2006;Piasecki et al 2008), cue-elicited craving (Burton and Tiffany 1997;Erblich et al 2009), and the subjectively rewarding effects of smoking (Glautier at al. 1996;Zacny 1990).…”

2Rationale: Smoking abstinence can result in decreased affective reactions to positively valenced stimuli and this can be reversed via smoking. Given their shared ability to trigger nucleus accumbens dopamine release, a priming dose of alcohol may likewise augment positive affective responses during abstinence. AbstractObjectives: To replicate our previous finding that compared to satiation, abstinence from smoking will be associated with decreased 'happiness' responses to positively valenced film clips (study 1); and to explore whether a priming dose of alcohol can substitute for nicotine by concomitantly enhancing such responses (study 2). In both studies 'sadness' responses to negatively valenced clips were also included.Methods: 32 and 77 smokers respectively in studies 1 and 2 were randomly allocated to abstain from smoking for 10 hours (abstinent smokers) or smoke as usual (satiated smokers).Participants then rated the extent to which they felt a list of emotions in response to each of 16 film clips. In study 2, participants were additionally allocated to an alcohol manipulation in which they received either alcohol or placebo.Results: In Study 1, nicotine administration increased abstinent smokers' ratings of happiness and sadness to the corresponding film clips. In Study 2, nicotine and alcohol both enhanced positive reactivity to happy clips, and their effects were not additive. Alcohol but not nicotine likewise enhanced sadness responses to sad clips. Conclusions:Abstinence from smoking can result in blunting of affective responses to positively toned stimuli, an effect that can be ameliorated by both nicotine and alcohol. The impact of nicotine on negative reactivity appears to be less robust.3
