“…Self-regulation means a tendency to control internal modes, control momentums, and behaviours, and adapt them to criteria to achieve the goal 36 . Consistent with the results of our study, the study by Evans et al 37 showed that students who had less self-regulated feelings than other students had a higher chance of starting smoking. Regarding the lack of studies in the field of the role of selfregulation in WPS, it seems that using the selfregulating process in students can create changes in them and direct them in reaching their goal, so that the probability increases for their behaviour to change to reduce waterpipe.…”

INTRODUCTION In recent years, waterpipe smoking (WPS) has increased among adolescents in Iran. This study aimed to explain the experiences of high school students in Iran on predictors of WPS reduction based on a multi-theory model (MTM) of health behaviour change. METHODS This study was a qualitative study of directed content analysis that was conducted in high school male students in Hamadan, Iran, in 2017. In this study, 34 students who had smoked waterpipe (WP) in the last month were recruited through snowball sampling that was continued until data saturation. The data were collected through semi-structured, individual interviews and were then analyzed using directed qualitative content analysis. RESULTS The data analysis resulted in the extraction of 104 final codes around the six themes of predetermined MTM constructs consisting of participatory dialogue, behavioural confidence, changes in the physical environment, emotional transformation, practice for change, and changes in the social environment. The findings of this study showed that this model has the potential to explain the behaviour of WPS reduction. The main predictors of reduction in WPS are behavioural confidence, social environment change, and participatory dialogue. CONCLUSIONS Findings of the research showed that the belief in an individual's ability, support from friends and the benefits of WPS reduction are the most important factors in reducing WPS among students. Therefore, it is suggested that comprehensive interventions be developed to improve the individual and social factors that are effective in WPS reduction.

“…And the local administration of nicotine into the substantia nigra can appear the activation of the nAChRs, namely a4b2 and a7, on dopaminergic nerve terminals in the corpus striatum [ 23 ], And it was also well documented that the number of 3[H] nicotine binding sites, a4b2 nAChRS, are increased in the brains of smokers examined postmortem [ 24 – 26 ]. In addition to potential neuroprotective behaviors, from learning and memory enhancement to addiction and neuroprotection, nicotine also has antidepressant properties and the ability to improve cognitive activities such as attention [ 27 ] and cognitive control [ 28 ].…”

Smoking related attention alteration in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease-smoking comorbidity

Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a respiratory disease that causes a wide range of cognitive impairments. Although COPD-Smoking comorbidity is common, the relationship between smoking and cognitive function in COPD-Smoking comorbidity remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effect of smoking on cognitive function like attention in COPD-Smoking patients. Methods In this study, we used the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scale and resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to explore the effect of smoking on attention in patients with COPD. Results Behavioral analysis revealed that among patients with COPD the smokers had a shorter course of COPD and showed a worse attention performance than the non-smokers. Resting-state fMRI analysis revealed that among patients with COPD smokers showed lower regional homogeneity (ReHo) value of the fusiform gyrus than non-smokers. Importantly, the ReHo of the fusiform gyrus is positively associated with attention and mediates the effect of smoking on attention in COPD. Conclusions In summary, our study provides behavioral and neurobiological evidence supporting the positive effect of smoking on attention in COPD. This may be helpful for understanding and treating COPD and even other diseases comorbid with smoking.

“…Nicotine also has a protective effect on dopaminergic neurons. In addition to potential 111 neuroprotective behaviors, from learning and memory enhancement to addiction and 112 neuroprotection, nicotine also has antidepressant properties and the ability to improve 113 cognitive activities such as attention (DAJASBAILADOR, 2004) and cognitive 114 control (Evans, To, & Ashare, 2018). 115 On the one hand, studies on the long-term effect of smoking have shown smoking impaired attention ability (Due et al, 2002), we expect that smoking aggravates attention and neural impairment in COPD patients with a smoking comorbidity.…”

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a respiratory disease that causes a wide range of cognitive impairments. Although chronic obstructive pulmonary disease-smoking comorbidity is common, the relationship between smoking and cognitive function in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease-smoking comorbidity remains unclear. In this study, we recruited 85 participants, including 42 patients with Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(20 smokers and 22 non-smokers) and 43 healthy participants(22 smokers and 21 non-smokers). And we used the Montreal Cognitive Assessment scale and resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging to explore effects of smoking on attention in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Behavioral analysis revealed that smokers had a shorter course of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and showed a worse attention performance in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease-smoking comorbidity compared to non-smokers. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging analysis revealed that smokers showed lower regional homogeneity value of the fusiform gyrus in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease-smoking comorbidity than non-smokers. Importantly, the regional homogeneity of the fusiform gyrus was positively associated with attention and mediates the effect of smoking on attention in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. In summary, our study provides behavioral and neurobiological evidence supporting the positive effect of smoking on attention in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. This may be helpful for understanding and treating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and even other diseases comorbid with smoking.
