“…Some COPD patients, who continue to smoke, do so with the belief that "the damage has already been done" [94]. There are also some unsubstantiated beliefs that quitting smoking exacerbates the negative symptoms of schizophrenia [95]. Some people living with HIV/AIDS trivialise health risks associated with smoking and see it as a "helpful" coping aid [96].…”

Introduction. Smoking plays a causal role in several long-term conditions and worsens their outcomes. Focusing on six such conditions, we present a narrative review of seminal studies on the prevalence and impact of continued tobacco use on these conditions; the effectiveness of cessation interventions; the extent to which patients receive these interventions, and barriers to providing and taking up these interventions. Methods. A conceptual framework was used to identify questions for a series of focused literature reviews. Findings were synthesized and the literature was examined to identify themes common across these conditions. Results. Smoking prevalence is either similar or higher in patients with established long-term conditions compared to the general population. Continued smoking accelerates disease progression, worsens outcomes, and risks poor treatment compliance or further complications. There is strong evidence for the effectiveness of cessation interventions in achieving smoking abstinence. Despite this, only a small proportion of patients receive such interventions. Important barriers to uptake include concerns about weight management and drug safety, higher nicotine dependency and codependency, comorbidity, and misperceptions about the benefits of cessation. Conclusion. The benefits of offering smoking cessation in patients with long-term conditions are far too great for it to remain of a low priority.

“…Chronic cigarette smoking is a common comorbid condition in alcohol dependence (Romberger and Grant, 2004;Hurt et al, 1994;Pomerleau et al, 1997), illicit substance abuse, schizophrenia-spectrum and mood disorders (Patkar et al, 2006;Dani and Harris, 2005;Esterberg and Compton, 2005;Fergusson et al, 2003). While nicotine may acutely facilitate learning and memory (Levin and Simon, 1998;Newhouse et al, 2004;Sacco et al, 2004), a growing body of evidence suggests chronic cigarette smoking in non-alcoholic individuals adversely affects multiple domains of neurocognition (e.g., Deary et al, 2003;Razani et al, 2004), including learning and memory (Heffernan et al, 2005;Hill et al, 2003;Richards et al, 2003;Schinka et al, 2003).…”

Memory function is largely mediated by medial temporal lobe (MTL), and its compromise has been observed in alcohol dependence and chronic cigarette smoking. The effects of heavy alcohol consumption and chronic smoking on hippocampal volumes and MTL metabolites and their recovery during abstinence from alcohol have not been assessed. Male alcoholics in treatment (ALC) [13 smokers (sALC) and 11 non-smokers (nsALC)] underwent quantitative magnetic resonance imaging and short-echo proton magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging at one week and one month of sobriety. Outcome measures were compared to 14 age-matched, non-smoking light-drinkers and were related to visuospatial learning and memory. Over one month of abstinence, N-acetylaspartate, a neuronal marker, and membrane-associated choline-containing metabolites normalized in the MTL of nsALC, but remained low in the MTL of sALC. Metabolite concentration changes in both groups were associated with improvements in visuospatial memory. Hippocampal volumes increased in both groups during abstinence, but increasing volumes correlated with visuospatial memory improvements only in nsALC. In summary, chronic cigarette smoking in alcohol-dependent men appears to have adverse effects on MTL metabolite recovery during short-term sobriety. These data may also have implications for other conditions with established MTL involvement and significant smoking co-morbidity, such as schizophrenia-spectrum and mood disorders.
