“…17 Food insecurity is associated with substance use, specifically tobacco use, with previous studies showing a higher prevalence of cigarette smoking in low-income families in the United States with food insecurity compared to households that are food secure. [20][21][22] An analysis by Armor and colleagues in 2008 using data from the 2001 Panel Study of Income Dynamics showed that smoking was more common in low income households with food insecurity (43.6%) than in low income households that were food secure (31.9%). 20 These results suggest the presence of resource shifting from food expenditures to cigarette expenditures as a mediating factor.…”

Food insecurity is a major public health concern in the United States affecting 15 million households according to data in 2017 from the US Department of Agriculture. Food insecurity, or the inability to consistently obtain nutritious food, disproportionately affects socioeconomically disadvantaged households, as well as those with chronic diseases including diabetes mellitus (DM). This review article explores the literature over the past 10 years pertaining to the complex relationship between food insecurity, social determinants of health, and chronic disease with an emphasis on diabetes and glycemic control. Those with diabetes and food insecurity together have been shown to have worse glycemic control compared to those who are food secure, but it remains unclear exactly how food insecurity affects glycemic control. Prior interventional studies have targeted aspects of food insecurity in patients with diabetes but have reported variable outcomes with respect to improvement in glycemic control despite effectively reducing rates of food insecurity. Additionally, few data exist regarding long‐term outcomes and diabetes‐related complications in this population. It is likely that many factors at both the community and individual levels impact glycemic control outcomes in the setting of food insecurity. Further studies are needed to better understand these factors and to create multifaceted targets for future interventional studies aimed at improving glycemic control in this population.

“…A growing body of literature has identified significant associations between food insecurity and tobacco use, particularly cigarette smoking, with associations that are independent of demographic factors, socioeconomic variables such as income and education, and mental health variables including psychological distress (Kim and Tsoh, 2016; Hosler and Michaels, 2017; Castro et al, 2015; Sreeramareddy and Ramakrishnareddy, 2017). The relationship is hypothesized to be bidirectional and mutually reinforcing, such that spending on cigarettes worsens food insecurity, yet the psychological stress associated with food insecurity, as well as the physical feelings of hunger that occurs when food insecurity is particularly severe, may promote smoking and impede efforts at cessation.…”

Psychological distress and tobacco use are known to co-occur for many reasons, including vulnerabilities associated with socioeconomic disadvantage. Food insecurity—a stressful condition due to inconsistent food access—is linked with increased psychological distress and is also an independent risk factor for smoking. We investigated the association between psychological distress and cigarette smoking, examining distress occurring with or without food insecurity, and variations in the associations by socioeconomic status. We analyzed data from the 2015 U.S. Panel Study of Income Dynamics (n = 9048). A four-category variable was constructed based on responses to validated measures of psychological distress and of food insecurity: no distress and no food insecurity; food insecurity without distress; distress without food insecurity; and distress with food insecurity. Weighted, robust Poisson regression analysis examined associations with current smoking, with analyses stratified by socioeconomic status. Smoking prevalence was highest among respondents experiencing psychological distress with food insecurity (39%). Results showed that respondents with food insecurity alone had higher smoking prevalence (33%) than respondents with psychological distress alone (20%). Only among respondents above poverty, psychological distress without food insecurity was significantly associated with current smoking (prevalence ratio = 1.44; 95% CI [1.25, 1.65]). For respondents at/below poverty, psychological distress without food insecurity was not significantly associated with current smoking. Further examining how socioeconomic stressors, such as food insecurity, intersect with psychological distress is needed to address continued socioeconomic disparities in cigarette smoking and develop effective population-based interventions.

“…6,7 Epidemiological studies conducted in the United States and other countries have demonstrated a relatively robust link between food insecurity and smoking. [8][9][10][11][12][13][14] The association appears to be bidirectional, with some studies showing that smoking increases the likelihood of food insecurity, [8][9][10] while other studies show that food insecurity increases the likelihood of smoking. [11][12][13] These associations remain significant after controlling for socioeconomic factors, such as income and level of education.…”

Changes in Food Insecurity and Smoking Status over Time: Analysis of the 2003 and 2015 Panel Study of Income Dynamics

et al. 2018

Participants: Four thousand five hundred sixty-three adults who were smokers and nonsmokers, participating in the 2003 (current study baseline) and 2015 (current study follow-up) waves of PSID. Measures: Based on self-reported smoking status at baseline and follow-up, respondents were categorized as continued smoking, stopped smoking, started smoking, and continued nonsmoking. Similarly, respondents were categorized as stayed food secure, stayed food insecure, became food insecure, and became food secure based on responses to the Food Security Survey at baseline and follow-up. Analysis: Two logistic regression analyses to examine (1) among smokers at baseline the odds of stopping versus continuing smoking by follow-up and (2) among nonsmokers at baseline the odds of starting versus continuing nonsmoking by follow-up. In both models, change in food insecurity status was the primary independent variable, controlling for demographics including poverty. Results: Among smokers at baseline, becoming food insecure (vs staying food secure) was independently associated with lower likelihood of stopping smoking by follow-up (odds ratio [OR] ¼ 0.66). Among nonsmokers at baseline, becoming food insecure (vs staying food secure) was independently associated with higher likelihood of starting smoking by follow-up (OR ¼ 3.77). Conclusions: Food insecurity is a risk factor for smoking, which has significant implications for developing interventions to reduce smoking prevalence, especially among low-income groups.
