“…The influence of high number of cigarettes on harmful alcohol use found in our study matches the findings in earlier studies (Murray et al 1995, Fleming et al, 1997. In another study which attempted to show the effectiveness of an integrated therapy for smokers and drinkers with a binge drinking pattern, it was shown that while the treatment significantly reduced the number of cigarettes, the effect was not repeated on the number of binge drinking episodes (Ames et al, 2010).…”

La Intervención Breve (IB) y el Consejo Médico simple (CM) son intervenciones psicoterapéuticas usadas para el tratamiento del consumo de alcohol por atracones en Atención Primaria. A pesar de la frecuencia de este patrón de abuso en Europa y en los Estados Unidos, ningún estudio ha evaluado las características de los sujetos que no responden a esas dos técnicas. Objetivo. Determinar las características demográficas y clínicas de los bebedores por atracones en los que la IB y el CM no son efectivos para la reducción del consumo perjudicial de alcohol. Métodos. Se trata de un análisis secundario de los datos obtenidos en un ensayo aleatorizado de intervención breve en alcohol con un período de seguimiento de 12 meses.

“…37 The group of hard-core smokers may be somewhat larger than our estimates suggest. Research has shown that the vast majority of adults with alcohol problems smoke, 38,39 that alcoholism and binge drinking are related to failure in attempts to quit smoking, 40,41 and that alcoholics are more nicotine dependent and report more withdrawal symptoms during attempts to quit smoking than do nonalcoholics. 42 Furthermore, other factors shown to be associated with smoking, such as dependence on other drugs, 43 depression, and other psychiatric states, 42,44,45 may further complicate identification of the truly hardcore smokers.…”

OBJECTIVES: Some smokers may never quit. Depending on how many of these "hard-core" smokers exist, tobacco control efforts could reach the limits of a minimum achievable smoking prevalence. We defined the hard core as heavy smokers with weak quitting histories who expect never to quit smoking. We compared them with other smokers and analyzed whether they represent a meaningful barrier to further reducing smoking prevalence. METHODS: We used data from the 1996 California Tobacco Surveys (18616 adults; response rate = 72.9%). RESULTS: In 1996, 5.2% of California smokers 26 years and older (1.3% of the California population) were hard-core smokers. Compared with other smokers, hard-core smokers were more likely to be retired non-Hispanic White males, with 12 years or less of education and incomes below $30,000 a year, who live alone. They began smoking at younger ages and attributed fewer negative health consequences to smoking than other smokers. CONCLUSIONS: Current tobacco control efforts have a long way to go before they "hit the wall." Nonetheless, the group of hard-core smokers represents a challenge because they appear to be largely unaffected by the messages of tobacco control.

“…Finally, the relationship of lifetime alcohol involvement to persistence of smoking may be quite different than its relationship to progression to daily smoking and tobacco dependence. In general, current alcohol use is associated with a reduced odds of smoking cessation (Carmelli et al, 1993;Hymowitz et al, 1997;Osler et al, 1999;Sobell et al, 1995;Sorlie and Kannel, 1990;Zimmerman et al, 1990) with frequency of heavy alcohol use, rather than overall level of drinking, appearing to be most strongly associated with continued smoking (Dawson, 2000;Murray et al, 1995;Vander Ark et al, 1997). However, although cessation rates are lower for individuals with a history of AUD compared to those without an AUD history (Dawson, 2000), having a past history of alcohol problems does not appear to reduce the odds of successful smoking cessation on a given attempt (Hughes and Kalman, 2006).…”

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.
