“…According to a randomized, double-blind design they received a placebo patch or a nicotine patch. Pre-test occurred 4 h later, when plasma nicotine levels would be expected to have reached a plateau (Chan et al, 1990), and after verifying the absence of recent smoking (i.e., CO level o10 ppm) (Cocores, 1993). Immediately before the breath holding test (here called pre-test), heart rate, blood pressure, and respiratory rate were measured, and the SCS, STAI, VAS-f, VAS-d were administered.…”

“…For inclusion in the study, participants (a) were between 18 and 65 years of age, (b) were daily smokers for at least the past year, (c) were currently (past month) smoking at least 10 cigarettes/day, (d) had not decreased the number of cigarettes smoked per day by more than half in the past six months, and (e) reported a willingness to abstain from smoking for a 12-hr period, as determined by CO analysis of breath samples (10 ppm cutoff; Cocores, 1993). Participants were excluded from the study based on evidence of (a) limited mental competency and the inability to give informed, voluntary written consent to participate; (b) current or past psychotic-spectrum symptoms; (c) current (past week) suicidal intent; (d) for women, the possibility of being pregnant (by self-report); (e) current or past chronic illness (e.g., heart disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease); and (f) self-reported past participation in a CO 2 -enriched air laboratory challenge study.…”

regard to self-reported anxious responding, among traumaexposed smokers, during a challenge paradigm. IntroductionOne promising avenue for better understanding the association between posttraumatic stress and smoking may involve exploring the role(s) of cigarette deprivation and nicotine withdrawal symptoms (i.e., symptoms elicited by nicotine deprivation among smokers). The nicotine withdrawal syndrome, experienced between smoked cigarettes and more intensively during a cessation attempt or longer period of cigarette smoking deprivation, is characterized by a consistent set of symptoms. Smokers experiencing posttraumatic stress symptoms are likely to report (a) increased nicotine withdrawal symptom severity in response to aversive interoceptive sensations (e.g., autonomic arousal) elicited by trauma-related stimuli (Beckham et al., 1995) and (b) greater levels of withdrawal-related anxious and depressive symptoms during periods of cigarette deprivation (Pomerleau, Marks, & Pomerleau, 2000). Thus, nicotine withdrawal symptoms may amplify anxious and fearful responding to aversive internal sensations among trauma-exposed cigarettedeprived smokers. This enhanced anxious responding to aversive internal cues, such as bodily sensations, may increase the probability of smoking in response to negative affect and may, in turn, lead to lower rates of smoking cessation.In one relevant study, Feldner, Vujanovic, Gibson, and Zvolensky (2008) found that nicotine withdrawal symptom severity, among daily smokers undergoing 12 hr of cigarette deprivation, significantly mediated the association between posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) diagnostic status AbstractIntroduction: The present investigation examined the main and interactive effects of posttraumatic stress symptom severity and 12-hr cigarette deprivation (cf. smoking as usual) in the prediction of anxious responding during a 4-min 10% carbon dioxide (CO 2 )-enriched air laboratory challenge. It was hypothesized that 12-hr cigarette deprivation would exacerbate the effects of posttraumatic stress symptom severity with regard to anxious responding during the challenge.Methods: Participants were 63 daily smokers (46.0% women; M age = 30.79, SD = 13.12, range = 18-60) who reported experiencing one or more traumatic events. The study consisted of two laboratory sessions. At the first session, participants were administered a structured diagnostic interview and completed self-reported measures. Eligible participants were randomly assigned to one of two conditions for the second session: (a) 12-hr cigarette deprivation or (b) noncigarette deprivation (i.e., smoking as usual). At the second session, participants' smoking status was biochemically verified, and all eligible participants then were administered the 10% CO 2 -enriched air laboratory challenge protocol. Results:The main and interactive effects of posttraumatic stress symptom severity and the smoking-as-usual conditionnot the hypothesized 12-hr cigarette deprivation conditionwere significantly predictive of peri-ch...

ABSTRACT. Objective: The present investigation examined anxious arousal and anhedonic depression symptoms in relation to frequency of past-30-day marijuana use, as well as the role of marijuana-use coping motives in terms of mediating this relation. Method: The present sample included current young adult marijuana users (N = 154; 48.1% female; mean [SD] age = 20.75 [5.97] years) who were recruited via study fl yers and printed advertisements in local newspapers placed throughout the Burlington, VT, community. Results: After controlling for daily cigarette smoking rate, alcohol consumption, and gender, anxious arousal symptoms, but not anhedonic depression symptoms, were signifi cantly and uniquely associated with the frequency of marijuana use. In addition, coping motives for marijuana use mediated the relation between anxious arousal symptoms and the frequency of current marijuana use. Conclusions: These results provide novel information related to the explanatory role of marijuana-use coping motives in the relation between anxious arousal symptoms and the frequency of marijuana use among young adult active users. Clinical implications for the current fi ndings are discussed. (J. Stud Alcohol Drugs 70: [543][544][545][546][547][548][549][550] 2009)
