“…However, rates of smoking among individuals with asthma did vary with age. Current smoking was more common among asthmatics than nonasthmatics in the younger age group (ages [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35] and was less common among asthmatics compared to nonasthmatics in the older age group (ages [36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50]. As with previous studies, there also were no differences between smokers with and without asthma in terms of age of smoking initiation, number of years of smoking, and smoking rate.…”

“…Interestingly, Hedman and colleagues found that among children with asthma at ages 7-8, there was no difference in smoking rates at ages 14-15 compared to those without asthma (17). However, among those with asthma at ages 14-15, 9.3% smoked, compared to 5.4% of children without asthma at ages 14-15. In an epidemiological study of U.S. high school students, Jones and colleagues found that according to the Youth Risk Behavior Survey, current asthma was significantly associated with current frequent cigarette use (defined as smoking almost daily; OR = 1.3) and heavier smoking (≥10 cigarettes per day; OR = 1.6) (18). Furthermore, among students with asthma, those who had had a recent asthma attack were significantly more likely to report both lifetime daily (OR = 1.5) and current frequent (OR = 1.6) cigarette use.…”

Asthma and Cigarette Smoking: A Review of the Empirical Literature

The purpose of this review paper is to present and evaluate the empirical literature on the association between asthma and cigarette smoking. The authors conducted a literature search utilizing electronic search engines (i.e., PsycINFO and MEDLINE) to examine databases using the following key word algorithms: smoking OR nicotine OR tobacco AND asthma. Only articles that focused on active tobacco smoking and analyzed groups with asthma patients only were examined in the present review. Overall, empirical evidence suggests that (1) smoking is more prevalent among individuals with asthma than those without; (2) smoking is a risk candidate for the development of asthma; (3) smoking is associated with decreased asthma control and increased risk of mortality and asthma attacks and exacerbations; (4) smokers with and without asthma may have different risk factors for smoking onset as well as different smoking motives and outcome expectancies; and (5) smoking cessation is associated with improvements in lung functioning and asthma symptoms. Future work in this domain of study will lead to clinically relevant health care advances as well as the development of theoretically driven, methodologically diverse lines of research exploring asthma-smoking comorbidity issues.

“…[41][42][43][44][45] Moreover, while the current sample of adolescents reported the slightly lower rate, a recent study 42 based on the 2003 national Youth Risk Behavior Survey data revealed that high school students with current asthma episode or attack used marijuana (26.5%) and inhalants (4.3%) at greater rates than high school students without current asthma (22.4% and 3.8%, respectively). Surprisingly, among those with a current asthma diagnosis, those with an asthma attack tended to report more current cigarette use (30%), current marijuana use (27.6%), and current inhalant use (7%) than those without an asthma attack (22.5%, 25.8% and 2.7%, respectively).…”

Asthma is a common chronic condition in adolescents. Despite chronic health conditions, adolescents are at great risk for substance-using risk behaviors such as smoking, alcohol use, and illicit drug use. Adolescents' decision-making quality may influence their risk behaviors. To date little is known about the extent to which rural adolescents with asthma engage in risk behaviors using substances beyond smoking and the association between risk behaviors and decision-making quality. The purpose of this pilot study is to examine the decision-making quality and to explore the extent of substance-using risk behaviors among adolescents with asthma in rural areas. Data were collected from 41 subjects ages 14-20 years in 2005-2006 using the Decision-Making Quality Scale and the Periodic Assessment of Drug Use. Cross-sectional descriptive analyses were performed to calculate the rates of decision-making quality and risk behavior. Approximately 50% were found to be quality decision makers, and non-whites reported higher decision-making scores than whites. Current smoking (in the past 30 days) was reported by 19.5%, and 17% reported alcohol consumption monthly or more frequently in the past year. Over 24% reported the use of illicit drugs at least once in the preceding year. Overall, 34% engaged in at least one type of substance using risk behavior. Whites were more likely to engage in such risk behaviors. No correlation between decision-making quality and risk behaviors was found. This study revealed the alarming rates of substance-using risk behaviors in the sample of adolescents with asthma. Given the serious implications for asthma outcomes, clinicians need to routinely assess risk behaviors in adolescents with asthma and provide adequate counseling and guidance.

Intakes of apple juice, fruit drinks and soda are associated with prevalent asthma in US children aged 2–9 years

Objective: High soft drink consumption has been linked with asthma. Anecdotal evidence links high-fructose corn syrup with asthma. The receptor of advanced glycation end products (RAGE) has emerged as a mediator of asthma. The objectives of the present study were to: (i) assess the correlation between intake of beverages containing excess free fructose (EFF beverages) and asthma in children; and (ii) epidemiologically test the mechanistic hypothesis that intake of high EFF beverages, such as apple juice or beverages sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup, is associated with increased risk of asthma. This hypothesis is based on the possible effect of increases in the in situ intestinal formation of advanced glycation end products (enFruAGE) with EFF, which may be absorbed and play a role in RAGE-mediated asthma. Design: We examined cross-sectional associations between beverage intake and self-reported current or history of asthma. Exposure variables were EFF beverages, including apple juice (AJ), non-diet soft drinks (ndSD) and fruit drinks (FD). Orange juice (OJ), not an EFF beverage, was included as a comparison. Rao-Scott χ 2 analysis was used for prevalence differences and logistic regression for associations, adjusted for age, sex, race/ethnicity, BMI and total energy intake. Setting: Data are from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2003-2006, a nationally representative survey. Subjects: US children (n 1961) aged 2-9 years with complete responses on the dietary frequency questionnaire. Results: Intakes of EFF beverages were significantly associated with asthma in 2-9-year-olds. Adjusted odds of asthma in children consuming EFF beverages ≥5 times/week was more than five times that in children consuming these beverages ≤1 time/month (OR = 5·29, P = 0·012). Children consuming AJ ≥5 times/week v. ≤1 time/month, adjusted for the other beverages, were more than twice as likely to have asthma (OR = 2·43, P = 0·035). In contrast, there was a tendency for OJ to be protective. Conclusions: These results support the hypothesis that intake of high EFF beverages, including AJ and beverages sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup, is associated with asthma in children aged 2-9 years. Results support the mechanistic hypothesis that enFruAGE may be an overlooked contributor to asthma in children. Longitudinal studies are needed to provide evidence of causal association.
