The present investigation examined the extent to which the cognitive factors of anxiety sensitivity (AS) and perceived control over anxiety-related events are independently related to smoking outcome expectancies and perceived barriers to quitting. Participants were 125 community-recruited adult, daily smokers. Consistent with hypotheses, AS and perceived control over anxiety-related events independently and significantly predicted smokers' expectancies for negative affect reduction from smoking, whereas only AS predicted expectancies for negative personal consequences from smoking. Also as hypothesized, AS and perceived control over anxiety-related events each independently and significantly predicted level of general perceived barriers to quitting smoking. All of the observed significant effects were evident above and beyond the variance accounted for by gender, alcohol consumption, number of cigarettes smoked per day, and negative affectivity. Together, these findings further the literature on the relation between anxiety-relevant cognitive factors and psychological smoking processes.

The present investigation evaluated the relations between anxiety sensitivity and motivational bases of cigarette smoking, as well as barriers to quitting smoking, above and beyond concurrent substance use, negative affectivity, and emotional dysregulation among a community sample of 189 daily cigarette smokers (46% women; M age = 24.97 years, SD = 9.78). Results indicated that anxiety sensitivity was significantly related to coping, addictive, and habitual smoking motives, as well as greater perceived barriers to quitting. These effects were evident above and beyond the variance accounted for by concurrent tobacco, alcohol, and marijuana use and discernable from shared variance with negative affectivity and emotional dysregulation. Emotional dysregulation was significantly related to stimulation, habitual, and sensorimotor smoking motives and greater perceived barriers to quitting, whereas negative affectivity was only significantly related to smoking for relaxation. These findings uniquely add to a growing literature suggesting anxiety sensitivity is an important and unique cognitive factor for better understanding clinically-relevant psychological processes related to cigarette smoking.There has been an increased effort to better understand linkages between tobacco use and anxiety disorders (Brown & Wolfe, 1994;Feldner, Babson, & Zvolensky, 2007;Kalman, Morissette, & George, 2005;Koenen et al., 2006;Morissette, Tull, Gulliver, Kamholz, & Zimering, 2007;Morrell & Cohen, 2006;Patton, Carlin, Coffey, Wolfe, Hibbert, & Bowes, 1998;Zvolensky, Bernstein, Marshall, & Feldner, 2006;Zvolensky, Feldner, Leen-Feldner, & McLeish, 2005). These scientific activities are theoretically and clinically important as there are bidirectional relations between tobacco use and anxiety and its disorders (Morissette et al., 2007;Morrell & Cohen, 2006;Zvolensky & Bernstein, 2005).An important cognitively-based individual difference factor relevant to psychologically-based smoking processes is anxiety sensitivity (AS). AS is the fear of anxiety and arousal-related sensations (McNally, 2002), and it has been conceptualized as a trait-like, cognitive predisposition for anxiety and stress-related psychopathology Taylor, 1999) that is malleable if targeted via cognitive-behavioral or pharmacological clinical Correspondence concerning this article should be addressed to Michael J.

“…Ethnic minorities and those with medical or comorbid psychological disorders, who are often of low SES, are typically underrepresented in interventions. Recent research assessing barriers to entering smoking cessation treatment in underserved, low SES smokers has suggested that these smokers have distinct perceived barriers to cessation treatment, including little access to information about smoking cessation, lack of knowledge about the smoking-related health risks, cultural beliefs related to smoking, stigma attached to using cessation resources, disbelief in efficacy, psychological comorbidity, unreliable phone service, lack of childcare, transience, lack of transportation, time constraints, cost of treatment, lack of insurance, financial stress, lack of coping skills and low motivation and self-efficacy Hughes, Cohen, & Callas, 2009;Hutchinson et al, 2008;King, Borrelli, Black, Pinto, & Marcus, 1997;Lazev, Vidrine, & Arduino, 2004;Macnee & Talsma, 1995;Okuyemi et al, 2006;Roddy, Antoniak, Britton, Molyneux, & Lewis, 2006;Siahpush, Yong, Borland, Reid, & Hammond, 2009).…”

Background:Efficacious smoking cessation interventions exist, yet few smokers utilise available resources such as psychosocial treatment programs and pharmacotherapy. The goals of the present study were to (1) identify perceived barriers to entering smoking cessation treatment programs among socioeconomically disadvantaged smokers, who are presently underrepresented in smoking cessation interventions; (2) determine what variables are most important in predicting the barriers identified (i.e., age, gender, ethnicity, income, nicotine dependence level, smoking rate, years smoking, stage of change, presence of smoking-related illness and medical insurance status).Methods:Responses from socioeconomically disadvantaged smokers (N= 343) were collected in 2004–2005 and analysed to develop the Treatment Barriers Questionnaire, a 40-item measure of reasons for not entering smoking cessation programs. Study methods were approved by the Institutional Review Board of Louisiana State University; informed consent procedures were employed.Results:Principal components analysis yielded seven scales named for their theme: (1) Preparedness to Quit Smoking; (2) Work and Time Constraints; (3) Smokers Can or Should Quit on Own; (4) Opinions about Professional Assistance; (5) Mobility Limitations; (6) Insurance Limitations and (7) Misinformation about Professional Assistance. Gender, ethnicity, daily smoking rate, nicotine dependence and stage of change were significant predictors in regression analyses for scales 1,F(10, 201) = 7.83,p< .001,R2= .29, 2F(10, 201) = 2.30,p< .05,R2= .11, and 3,F(10, 201) = 3.58,p< .001,R2= .16. Conclusions: Results can inform efforts to facilitate entry and retention of smokers in cessation programs.
