“…Recent studies have found important linkages between smoking and certain anxiety disorders (Feldner, Babson, & Zvolensky, 2007a;Morissette, Tull, Gulliver, Kamholz, & Zimering, 2007;Patton, Carlin, Coffey, Wolfe, Hibbert, & Bowes, 1998; Zvolensky, Feldner, LeenFeldner, & McLeish, 2005 (Beckham et al, 1995;Breslau et al, 2003;Buckley et al, 2004;Feldner et al, 2007a). Recent controlled work supports the contention that PTSD is associated with earlier relapse compared to persons with no psychopathology (Zvolensky, Gibson et al, in press).…”

“…Second, it was hypothesized that PTSD and PD groups would report more unsuccessful quit attempts than PA and C groups as well as more severe symptoms during past quit attempts; again, no differences were expected between the PTSD and PD groups. This hypothesis was driven by theoretical models that suggest individuals with PTSD or PD would be more emotionally reactive to, and less tolerant of, aversive symptoms (e.g., nicotine withdrawal) experienced upon a smoking quit attempt (Beckham et al, 1995;Zvolensky & Bernstein, 2005). Third, it was hypothesized that smokers with PTSD or PD would report greater levels of motivation to smoke for negative affect management than the comparison groups as well as motivation to smoke for addictive (e.g., loss of control over smoking behavior) and habitual (e.g., smoking becoming routine) reasons but would not differ from one another.…”

“…Other work suggests panic psychopathology is related to decreased success in quitting smoking (Lasser et al, 2000;Zvolensky & Bernstein, 2005;Zvolensky, Lejuez, Kahler, & Brown, 2004). Similarly, smoking rates are significantly greater among persons with, compared to those without, PTSD (Acierno et al, 2000;Acierno, Kilpatrick, Resnick, Saunders, & Best, 1996;Beckham et al, 1995;Buckley, Mozley, Bedard, Dewulf, & Greif, 2004). Investigations also have found that exposure to traumatic life events, particularly for those individuals with a PTSD diagnosis, is associated with an increase in smoking behavior (e.g., increasing the amount of cigarettes smoked per day; Breslau, Davis, & Schultz, 2003;Joseph, Yule, Williams, & Hodgkinson, 1993;Koenen et al, 2005;Perkonigg, Kessler, Storz, & Wittchen, 2000).…”

Although less is empirically known about the role of PTSD in cessation success per se, scholars have suggested that this clinical condition may (theoretically) be associated with poor cessation outcome (Beckham et al, 1995;Breslau et al, 2003;Buckley et al, 2004;Feldner et al, 2007a). Recent controlled work supports the contention that PTSD is associated with earlier relapse compared to persons with no psychopathology (Zvolensky, Gibson et al, in press).…”

The present investigation compared 123 community-recruited daily smokers with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), panic disorder (PD), nonclinical panic attacks (PA), or no current Axis I psychopathology (controls; C) in terms of nicotine dependence, smoking rate, quit history, severity of symptoms during past quit attempts, and motivation for and expectancies about smoking. No differences were observed between groups in regard to smoking rate or nicotine dependence. The PTSD group reported making more lifetime quit attempts than the other groups, and the PTSD and PD groups perceived more severe symptoms during past quit attempts. The PD and PTSD groups reported greater motivation to smoke to reduce negative affect. Individuals with PTSD endorsed a stronger expectation that smoking would alleviate negative mood states and would produce negative consequences. Overall, results suggest that smokers with PD or PTSD differ from other smoking groups in a number of clinically significant ways.

There is an increasing empirical recognition that tobacco use and dependence are elevated among those with psychopathology compared to those without psychiatric conditions (Kalman, Morissette, & George, 2005). For example, persons with, relative to those without, psychiatric disorders are approximately twice as likely to be current smokers (Lasser et al., 2000). Moreover, it is estimated that although smokers with psychiatric disorders represent approximately 20% of persons in the United States (U.S.), they consume over 40% of the cigarettes in the nation (Lasser et al., 2000). Such high rates of smoking among those with psychiatric disorders may play a clinically significant role in the high rates of diagnostic comorbidity and mortality observed in people with psychiatric disorders (Kalman et al., 2005).

Two studies were conducted to investigate interpersonal violence in Vietnam veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In study one, combat veterans with PTSD reported significantly greater occurrence of violent behaviors over the past year (22 acts) versus combat veterans without PTSD (.2 acts). Combat exposure had an independent positive association with interpersonal violence. In study two, variables related to current interpersonal violent behavior in 118 PTSD combat veterans were evaluated. In rank order of importance, lower socioeconomic status, increased aggressive responding and increased PTSD severity were related to interpersonal violence. These results suggest that combat veterans with PTSD exhibit greater interpersonal violence than combat veterans without PTSD, and that there are multiple factors in this population which determine violent behavior.
