Expenditures on Tobacco

• Smokers with schizophrenia spend 27% of income on tobacco

• Cf: In US, 20% spent on housing and 10% spent on food

Casual Flow of Depression and Smoking

(Breslau 1991)

• Depression predicts progress to daily smoking OR = 3.0

• Smoking predicts onset of depression OR = 1.9

Page 10: Why People with Mental Health Conditions Smoke So Much and What To Do About It John Hughes University of Vermont, USA john.hughes@uvm.edu.

Smokers with vs without Mental Health Conditions

• Fewer neversmokers (20% vs 55%)

• Fewer exsmokers (10% vs 25%)

• Fewer quit attempts (15% vs 45%)

• Less success when try to quit (10% vs 15%)

Page 13: Why People with Mental Health Conditions Smoke So Much and What To Do About It John Hughes University of Vermont, USA john.hughes@uvm.edu.

The lower rate of lifetime cessation is as much due to

fewer quit attempts as to less success on a given attempt.

Examples of How Smoking Interacts with Dx and Tx of

Mental Health Disorders

Page 15: Why People with Mental Health Conditions Smoke So Much and What To Do About It John Hughes University of Vermont, USA john.hughes@uvm.edu.

Hints for Smoke-Free Facilities

• Explain rationale

– to decrease second hand smoke – to decrease initiation or relapse among never

or former smokers on ward– not to pressure you to quit

• Treat withdrawal with NRT

• Predicted disasters do not occur

Page 16: Why People with Mental Health Conditions Smoke So Much and What To Do About It John Hughes University of Vermont, USA john.hughes@uvm.edu.

Nicotine Withdrawal

• Anxiety• Restlessness• Irritability• Difficulty concentrating• Hunger/weight gain• Insomnia• Depressed mood• Decreased heart rate

• Those with mental disorders more likely to start and less likely to quit smoking

• Increasing quit attempts as important as, if not more important than, aiding quit attempts
