▼ Background: Over 80% of second-hand smoke (SHS) is invisible and smokers are often unaware of how much SHS is produced when they smoke at home. The fine particulate matter (PM2.5) from the tobacco smoke can drift and linger around the home. This study aims to develop an educational intervention in encouraging smokers to move towards a smoke-free home (SFH) in Malaysia. The study measured the SHS-PM2.5 levels in homes where smoking occurred and used personalised household air-quality feedback intervention to help the implementation of SFH rules. This study also examined the feasibility and acceptability of providing a new, low-cost, personalised air quality measuring system to smokers through participant's workplaces. Methods: Research invitations were made directly to the management team at selected Malaysian workplaces that have Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Management Systems in place. Upon organisational agreement, workers were invited to take part using letters of invitation, flyers and emails. Smoking and non-smoking workers were recruited as long as they lived in a home where smoking occurs and where at least one other family member resided. Initial laboratory work developed a method for identifying PM2.5 readings which distinguish tobacco smoke from non-SHS sources in typical household's air by examining common particle emission sources including candles, air freshener, fragrance oil burner, incense, and various cooking activities. This was used to ensure that feedback could be targeted at smoking activity. This study also developed a set of useful educational intervention information. Recruited participants received standard SHS advice plus personalised air quality feedback. Measurement of SHS-PM2.5 was made using a Dylos DC1700 particle counter at baseline and then again (post-intervention) at 1-month follow-up. The main outcome measures were the difference in SHS-PM2.5 concentrations between the baseline and follow-up, participant's attitudes towards SHS exposure, and commitment towards a SFH. Qualitative data was also collected to determine the feasibility and acceptability of providing an indoor air quality measuring system delivered through the workplaces together with an optional individual interview. Qualitative data were analysed thematically using MS Excel with differences between smoking status and types of behavioural changes also examined. Results: A total of 212 participants were invited to take part in the study and 119 consented to participate. Of these, 102 participants from four different workplaces completed both baseline and follow-up measurements. A total of 1,218,547 minutes of PM2.5 concentrations (range between 1,896 - 9,056 minutes from each home) were gathered, making it the largest dataset of PM2.5 measurements collected from smoking homes in a developing country. After eliminating the SHS exposure measurements from a group of participants with < 24 hours of recorded data (at both baseline and follow-up), the PM2.5 readings from a total of 97 smoking households were analysed.…

▼ Much of our understanding of ‘smokers’ is based the subset of the group that smoke daily, under the assumption that smokers are a relatively homogeneous group. However, there is a growing body of evidence which recognises other ‘kinds’ of
smoking which are not characterised by nicotine dependence, fundamentally challenging many of our conceptions about the nature of ‘smoking’. Despite this relatively recent recognition, little has been done to reformulate our understanding of smokers as a heterogeneous group with varying characteristics and motivations. In the present study, differences in demographics, personality, self-efficacy and affect are investigated between three
smoking-outcome groups – never smokers, daily smokers and non-daily smokers. Multinomial logistic regression analysis revealed that conscientiousness, age, SES, level of education, and proportion of peer
smoking differentially impact the three outcome groups. Non-daily smokers were also found to be significantly less likely to intend to quit than daily smokers, and there was a trend for participants who had been unsuccessful in their cessation attempts to score lower on neuroticism, agreeableness and conscientiousness than participants who had successfully quit
smoking. These findings have important implications for public health campaigns, suggesting that to improve the efficacy of
smoking campaigns a clearer understanding of the variety of target audiences, their different characteristics, motivations and intentions needs to be reached.

▼ Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
This thesis by publication is composed of an introduction, six papers, and a final chapter providing conclusions. All papers relate to exploring the potential of a novel setting- social and community service organisations- for addressing smoking among severely disadvantaged, low socioeconomic status groups in Australia. At the time of submission, all six papers have been accepted for publication in peer reviewed journals. The Introduction provides an overview of the global smoking epidemic, including the well documented socio-economic gradient in smoking prevalence. It provides a discussion of the social determinants of health framework, a summary of smoking prevalence in socially disadvantaged and severely disadvantaged groups, and a rationale for why social and community service organisations hold potential for being a highly valuable setting in increasing the reach of smoking cessation support to disadvantaged smokers. This chapter gives focus to smoking prevalence in Australia and other western developed countries (particularly the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and New Zealand) who have similar smoking prevalence rates and socioeconomic gradients in tobacco use. Paper one, “A survey of smoking prevalence and interest in quitting among social and community service organisation clients: a unique opportunity for reaching the highly disadvantaged”, reports the results of a touch-screen computer survey of 383 clients accessing three community service organisations in New South Wales, Australia, over a nine-month period. More than 61% of participants surveyed were daily or occasional smokers. Most (77%)had tried to quit smoking in the past and a substantial proportion (53%) wanted to receive support from the community service organisation. These results provide evidence of the potential uptake of smoking cessation support delivered in the community service setting. This paper has been published in BMC Public Health. Paper two, “Developing cessation interventions for the social and community service setting: A qualitative study of barriers to quitting among disadvantaged Australian smokers” is a qualitative paper exploring the barriers to quitting smoking in the Australian context. Focus groups were conducted with thirty-two clients of social and community service organisations in New South Wales, Australia. Findings show that disadvantaged smokers in Australia, like those in other countries, find quitting difficult for a number of reasons, including poor self-efficacy,poor knowledge of available support, limited provision of support, the high cost of nicotine replacement therapy, and pro-smoking community norms. The paper concludes that multi-component interventions providing information about the availability of quit support, practical strategies for engaging disadvantaged smokers with available quit support, and access to free or subsidized nicotine replacement therapy are needed to overcome barriers to quitting among disadvantaged smokers. This paper has…

▼ Introduction
Reducing the prevalence of
smoking in New Zealand is a priority, whereby greater reductions are required amongst Māori relative to non-Māori in order to reduce widening health-related disparities associated with
smoking. To date, there has been no comprehensive New Zealand specific research conducted on youth quitting behaviour to inform how youth-specific policy for cessation could be developed to effectively address cessation amongst this age group. The aim of this research was to study youth
smoking and cessation in New Zealand, relative to adults. Seven research questions were set to investigate this aim:
1. Is youth
smoking a public health problem in New Zealand?
2. Do youth have dependence on nicotine?
3. Do youth demonstrate motivation to quit
smoking?
4. Do New Zealand youth make attempts to quit
smoking?
5. What services and support do New Zealand youth use to quit
smoking, and do they work?
6. What further insights are needed to progress current understanding of
smoking cessation among New Zealand youth?
7. For all the questions outlined above, what are the differences between Māori and non-Māori?
Methods
Two systematic literature reviews and four studies were undertaken to investigate the research questions above. Three studies were conducted using four robust quantitative data sources including the New Zealand Census of Population and Dwellings (1996-2006), the New Zealand Tobacco Use Survey (2006), The Quitline caller database (2006-2008) and the Quitline service evaluation (2006). One exploratory study was conducted to investigate the feasibility of conducting research with Māori in schools, using qualitative research methodologies to identify information gaps highlighted in Studies 1, 2 and 3.
Results
The results demonstrate that
smoking is a public health problem in New Zealand among youth and young adults, with the highest
smoking prevalence (29.8% in 2006) noted among 20-24 year olds. Among Māori aged 20-24 years in 2006, the prevalence of
smoking was 50.3%, compared to 27.6% among non-Māori. The results indicate that
smoking initiation mostly occurs between 16 and 20 years in New Zealand; however Māori continue to initiate
smoking significantly earlier (under-15 years) than non-Māori youth.
Findings provide evidence that youth demonstrate dependence on nicotine and some motivation to quit
smoking. However, the results highlight limitations in using adult derived tools to assess nicotine dependence and motivation to quit
smoking among youth, as these concepts are likely to be defined, understood and experienced differently among youth compared to adults.
Findings demonstrate that in 2006 the ratios of ex-regular to regular smokers among Māori (youth=0.17; young adults=0.23; adult=0.55) were lower than non-Māori (youth=0.27; young adults=0.42; adults=1.40). Furthermore, findings demonstrate that the rate of Quitline callers per 1000 NZ regular smokers among non-Māori youth and young adults was approximately 50% higher than Māori…

Smoking and secondhand smoke are harmful to health. As information about the negative affects has increased, so have regulations. Regulations are growing with the workplace becoming a primary target. The workplace is a particularly sensitive environment, potentially affecting the smoker's job security if the regulations are not adhered to. Sentinel studies, such as COMMIT and ASSIST, focused on the effect of policies and regulations on smoking reduction. They provided beneficial evidence in the light to moderate smoker, but failed to show benefits in the heavier smoker. The purpose of this study was to examine the experience of heavy smokers working in smoking regulated environments in order to understand their challenges and discover their adaptive mechanisms. This information can then be applied to the development of effective interventions. The theoretical framework for the study was Roy's Adaptation Model. It was applied with the nursing process to analyze behavior and evaluate the effectiveness of smoking regulations on the person's adaptability. A qualitative descriptive phenomenological method was utilized to gain information about the smokers' experiences. Regulated smokers were chosen through a nonrandomized, purposive sample method involving three types of worksites including: factory, medical facility, and restaurant. Ten individuals, 18 years of age or older, who smoked, on average, a minimum of 10 cigarettes a day, and worked at least 8 hours per day in a smoking regulated environment were included in the study. An open-ended survey was conducted with voluntary participants.
Measures were taken to ensure participant confidentiality and protection. The data was analyzed using Giorgi's method. Presenting themes served as the basis for future development of Nurse Practitioner interventions.

▼ The purpose of this research was to evaluate the
effectiveness of two
smoking cessation programs – one
group and one self-help – which were developed and are
currently employed by the American Cancer Society.
The research was conducted in a work setting, and
all subjects were employees of the State of California's
Resource Agency who expressed a desire for assistance in
giving up cigarette
smoking. Through a randomizing
process, 218 subjects were assigned to either a Group
Treatment, a Self-help Treatment, or a nontreated Control.
The research was divided into two parts: (1) an
experimental component which compared the effects of two
smoking cessation techniques, and (2) a descriptive
component which sought to identify correlates of change
in
smoking behavior from a preselected list of personal
and demographic characteristics. Within the experimental component, the following
null hypotheses were tested:
1. There will be no significant difference in mean
smoking behavior among smokers assigned to
Group Treatment, Self-help Treatment, and
smokers assigned to a Control.
2. There will be no significant difference in mean
smoking behavior between smokers assigned to
Group Treatment and smokers assigned to Self-help
Treatment.
Analysis of variance was used to examine treatment
effectiveness. A four-month follow-up revealed that all
subjects receiving treatment demonstrated a significantly
greater reduction in
smoking activity than subjects
assigned to a nontreated Control (p < .01, F = 22.17). Of
the two treatments, subjects assigned to the Group Treatment
exhibited a greater reduction in
smoking activity than subjects
assigned to the Self-help Treatment (p < .01, F = 10.75).
With regard to 100 percent abstinence, the Group Treatment
demonstrated clear superiority (40 percent) over the Self-help
Treatment (18 percent) and the Control (5 percent) when
measured at the four-month follow-up.
In the descriptive portion of the research, eight
variables were identified as correlates of change in
smoking behavior. The strongest correlation was demonstrated
by the baseline variable at both the one-month
(r = .68) and four-month (r = .64) follow-up measurements. Smokers who reported more ease in "picturing themselves
as nonsmokers" or reported more confidence "that they
would not be
smoking five years hence" did significantly
better at both the one-month and four-month measurements.
In general, smokers did better who reported more "stop-
smoking
willpower," more "confidence about stopping," or
perceived an "improved health status from quitting."
Contrary to previous research, there was no significant
difference in
smoking behavior between sexes.
The study demonstrates the practicality of conducting
a
smoking cessation program in a work environment.
However, improved treatment methodologies and long-term
maintenance of nonsmoking behavior are cited as specific
areas in need of further research.

▼ Introduction: Inpatient hospitalization requires smokers to quit temporarily and offers an opportunity for health care professionals to provide
smoking cessation treatment. Text messaging may provide a method for continuing
smoking cessation support and monitoring
smoking status post-discharge.
Methods: This is a randomized controlled trial of automated
smoking cessation support on discharge as an adjunct to brief advice among hospital inpatients. Participants were inpatients who self-identified as tobacco users at the time of admission. Those who accepted cessation counseling as part of usual care were screened for study inclusion. Eligible participants smoked > 20 cigarettes in the 30 days prior to admission, were willing to give up all forms of tobacco, had a cell phone with them capable of receiving text messages, and were willing to send/receive text messages. Participants were randomized to receive weekly
smoking status questions (control) or weekly
smoking status questions plus daily
smoking cessation tips (intervention). Text messages began the day the participant was discharged from the hospital and continued until phone call follow-up at one month post-discharge. Quit status was based on self-report seven-day point prevalence abstinence.
Results: 140 participants, 70 receiving the intervention and 70 controls, were included in this analysis. Participants were 60% female, 81% white, an average of 42 years old, smoked an average of 14 cigarettes per day, and had an average hospital stay of 5 days with no significant differences between the intervention and control group. Intent-to-treat analysis found that 37% (n=26) of control participants and 44% (n=31) of intervention participants had quit at 1 month post-discharge (p=0.39). Overall, 56% (n=78) of participants responded to at least 4 of the 5
smoking status questions. Of those who completed the subjective ratings of the text messaging program at phone call follow-up (n=114), 75% (n=46) of intervention participants rated the text messages as ‘good’ or ‘excellent’ and an additional 13 rated as ‘satisfactory’ compared with 58% (n=31) of control participants rating the helpfulness of the text messages ‘good’ or ‘excellent’ with another 13 rating them as ‘satisfactory’ (p=0.01).
Conclusion: Automated
smoking cessation text messaging may provide a feasible and well-received method to encourage inpatient smokers to stay quit as well as to monitor their
smoking status post-discharge from hospital.

Intervention to reduce secondhand smoke exposure among

▼ Background: Exposure to secondhand smoke (SHS)
increases one’s risk of a variety of deleterious health outcomes.
SHS is particularly troublesome among infants, a higher proportion
of whom are exposed to SHS compared to adults and whose physiology
predisposes them to additional adverse health outcomes. Past
behavioral interventions have been successful in reducing exposure
during infancy, but the mechanisms by which interventions have been
successful are unclear. The purpose of this analysis was to explore
the effect of a SHS exposure reduction intervention on infant
salivary cotinine as mediated through social support and SHS
avoidance behaviors. Methods: This analysis included participants
(n = 290) from the Baby’s Breath study, a randomized controlled
trial of a tailored, video-based intervention that aimed to reduce
the SHS exposure of women during pregnancy and their infant after
birth. Ordinary least squares regression was used to construct
mediation models to assess the impact of social support during and
after pregnancy on SHS avoidance behaviors and infant exposure.
Measures included social support, the Martinelli Scale, Avoidance
of Tobacco Smoke, and salivary cotinine concentration was used as a
biomarker for SHS exposure. Results: Social support measured at 32
weeks gestation and 12 weeks postpartum were both positively
related to SHS avoidance behaviors. SHS avoidance behaviors were
inversely associated with infant salivary cotinine concentration.
The intervention influenced participant’s perceived social support
at 12 weeks postpartum but not during pregnancy. As such, the
intervention influenced infant salivary cotinine through social
support at 12 weeks postpartum but not at 32 weeks gestation.
Discussion: In the Baby’s Breath study, social support positively
influenced participant’s SHS avoidance behaviors while with her
infant, which in turn reduced their SHS exposure. However, the
intervention only impacted participant’s perceived social support
after birth. It could be that repeated exposure to the intervention
over time was required for women to galvanize social support around
them. The results of this analysis support the inclusion of social
support in future SHS exposure reduction interventions, and suggest
that interventions aiming to reduce infant exposure should be
delivered during pregnancy as well as after birth.

▼ Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is a third wave behavioural therapy, which encourages individuals to stop fighting their internal experiences (e.g. thoughts, feelings, and memories) and teaches individuals techniques to help them accept these internal experiences for what they are. SmartQuit™ is a smartphone application for
smoking cessation based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy principles. SmartQuit™ consists of eight effective activities, each of which provides the user with techniques to deal with cravings to smoke cigarettes. My first aim was to examine whether using SmartQuit™, would lead to reductions in cigarette intake. My second aim was to determine whether scores obtained on the Commitment to Quit Scale would predict
smoking outcomes at post-intervention and follow-up phases. I used a single-
subject, A-B-A-C design across 10 participants to examine the feasibility of a smartphone app targeting
smoking cessation (SmartQuit™), with a New Zealand population. Most participants showed a significant reduction in cigarette intake and a noticeable reduction in cravings to smoke cigarettes. In conclusion, the results of the current study suggest that SmartQuit™ is well suited for
smoking cessation, with a New Zealand population. However, given the small sample size, a larger evaluation may be required.

▼ Youth smoking is an important aspect of tobacco research as most adult smokers first experiment with and initiate tobacco use during their adolescence. Policy makers and researchers have given youth smoking issues a significant amount of attention over the last 20 years and this has led to significant reductions in youth smoking prevalence in New Zealand. More recently the decline in youth smoking prevalence has reached a plateau. Evidence now shows that while overall smoking prevalence has reduced, inequalities between ethnic and social groups has actually increased. This is an international trend. Young people living in low socioeconomic status areas and belonging to minority ethnic groups are at much higher risk of being a current smoker than their less deprived peers. A number of overseas studies have investigated the spatial relationship between aspects of the neighbourhood environment and adolescent smoking behaviour in an attempt to identify the most at risk groups. In particular the effect of neighbourhood socioeconomic status and the degree of access to tobacco outlets is believed to influence adolescent smoking behaviour. In New Zealand analysis of this type has mainly focused on adult smoking behaviour and the effect of tobacco outlet access is as yet unstudied.
This study examines the effect of neighbourhood and high school socioeconomic status on adolescent smoking behaviour, attitudes and beliefs in Christchurch. Using information from the 2006 New Zealand Census, spatial variations in reported neighbourhood smoking prevalence have been examined. In addition, analysis of responses to smoking questions in the 2008 Year 10 In-depth Survey have been carried out show how school socioeconomic status can influence underlying attitudes and beliefs young people hold towards smoking and tobacco products. Spatial analysis has also been performed on the census dataset to investigate the relationship between neighbourhood access to tobacco outlets and youth smoking behaviour after controlling for neighbourhood deprivation. To supplement each of these quantitative data sources, focus group interviews were carried out at two high schools (one low and one high socioeconomic status). Findings from these interviews are presented as further insight into adolescent attitudes and beliefs towards smoking.
Results of this research show that there is a socioeconomic effect at both a neighbourhood and school level on all adolescent smoking behaviours, attitudes and beliefs examined, except for smoking cessation. There is also evidence of greater access to tobacco outlets in low socioeconomic neighbourhoods but not so around high schools. Increased access to tobacco outlets is linked to increased adolescent smoking prevalence, more so among females than males, but this relationship disappeared in age groups 20 and above.

▼ Stress is a principal factor in promoting smoking lapse and relapse to cigarette smoking in women. Cognitive reappraisal of stress (CR) and heart rate variability biofeedback (HRVb) have both demonstrated positive effects on the stress response and related outcomes, but have never been explored together for their effects on smoking-related outcomes. Sixty-eight adult women, who smoke 10+ cigarettes daily, abstained from nicotine and tobacco for 12 hours prior to a lab visit in which they completed questionnaires and were randomized to practice an intervention of CR and HRVb, or neutral control tasks. All participants then completed three stressful tasks, including a Stroop task to measure cognitive performance. Heart rate variability (HRV) data were collected throughout the study visit, in addition to smoking craving and negative affect assessments at baseline, post-intervention, post-stress, and post-recovery. Results showed a significant difference in craving decrease between experimental conditions, with the Intervention condition showing a significant decrease in smoking craving from baseline after 10 minutes of HRVb. There were no significant differences between conditions in Stroop task performance or negative affect throughout the study. HRV results revealed group differences in heart rate increase during stress, and decrease after stress, with the Intervention group exhibiting greater volatility in heart rate. Overall, findings of this study indicate that practicing HRVb for 10 minutes results in a significant decrease in smoking craving in female daily smokers with 12 hours of abstinence, and multiple practice sessions of CR and HRVb may be needed to protect against the effect of stress on craving, negative affect, cognitive performance, or HRV. Future research will need to replicate these findings in a larger sample and explore the efficacy of practicing HRVb and CR together over multiple practice sessions in smoking cessation treatment.

▼ Smoking cigarettes is the leading cause of preventable diseases and death in the United States. It is estimated that 29% of college students had smoked one or more cigarettes in the preceding 30 days. To date, relatively few cessation
programs that have been developed for young adults and been evaluated as successful. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a web-based intervention on the reduction and cessation of cigarette smoking, number of quit attempts,
self-efficacy in quitting, and attitudes toward smoking among college students. The study employed a randomized, pretest-posttest experimental design with a 6-months follow-up. Seventy college smokers participated in the study. Participants attended four
sessions over two months. The intervention group received a multicomponent, stage-matched program. Key components were interactive quizzes, webbased messages and strategies, social support and personalized assessments. The control group received generic
smoking cessation messages. ANCOVAS were run to assess post-intervention differences between the groups on number of cigarettes smoked and quit attempts with the baseline measures as the covariate. Chi-square analyses tested the difference between the
groups on quit rate and forward stages of change movement. ANOVAs were used to determine the differences between the groups on self-efficacy and attitudes toward smoking. Results of the statistical tests found no significant statistical differences
between the groups on any of the outcome measures. However, participants in the intervention group did report lower number of cigarettes smoked and quit attempts between posttest and 6-month follow-up after adjusting for baseline scores and a greater
quit rate at 6-month follow-up. The effects of quit rate and quitters in action persisted to the 6-month follow-up for the intervention group. They also had greater proportion in the action stage than the control group at 6-month follow-up. Within the
intervention group, there were significant differences in self-efficacy and attitudes about adverse effects of smoking between the baseline and posttest. The web-based intervention was generally well-received. This study may be a test of the feasibility
of a web-based smoking intervention. Although the limited sample size may prohibit drawing conclusions on the efficacy of intervention, web-based interventions may hold promise as a medium for behavior change.

▼ Smoking during pregnancy has an adverse effect on the health of 400,000 infants each year in the United States. As part of a state level response to this public health need, a Midwest
smoking cessation program operates in partnership with 160 prenatal care sites emolling over 11,000 pregnant women between the years of2005 and 2015. Over 900 trained healthcare specialists at these sites provide
smoking cessation programming as part of existing prenatal care. The intervention includes: individualized
smoking cessation counseling, incentives, quit-line information and optional support programming. This descriptive study analyzed data collected via surveys at program emollment and postpartum to calculate quit and dropout percentages from each provider site type. High performance sites (high quit-low dropout) were compared to low performance sites (low quit rate-high dropout) based on provider site type, and participant characteristics. Top high and low performance provider site types were identified and descriptive statistics established similar characteristics between the provider site types' participants, such as education level, age, marital status, and race. This translational research provides
smoking cessation program coordinators with characteristics to guide overall programmatic changes as well as unique recommendations for program sites and positive quit rate outcomes for pregnant women.

▼ Motivational interviewing theory (DiClemente et al., 1991) suggests that when making a decision, we consider the possible outcomes for both a primary choice and an alternative choice. The decision to quit smoking is thus influenced by quit expectancies and smoking expectancies. While smoking expectancies have been emphasized in past research, less attention has been paid to abstinence expectancies. The present study examined the predictive utility of smoking and abstinence expectancies together for smoking motivation and behavior at baseline and one-month follow-up. Outcomes included motivation to quit, contemplation status, and average daily smoking rate. Data was collected for 211 adult daily smokers at baseline and 187 at follow-up. Baseline positive and negative smoking expectancies, as well as positive abstinence expectancies, uniquely predicted concurrent motivation to quit and contemplation status. There was no relation between baseline expectancies and smoking rate, nor did baseline expectancies predict outcomes at one-month follow-up.

▼ Individuals with schizophrenia have extremely high smoking rates (70-88%). Compared to smokers in the general population, smokers with schizophrenia have more intense smoking patterns (e.g., more cigarettes per day; smoke stronger cigarettes; higher nicotine dependence, carbon monoxide (CO) boosts, cotinine, and nicotine levels; more extreme smoking topography) and more positive smoking outcome expectancies. However, the relationship between smoking and symptomatology is quite complex. Insight might be gleaned by studying the relationship between smoking and schizotypy, or the putative genetic vulnerability to developing schizophrenia, as it avoids many confounds associated with schizophrenia. This study investigated schizotypy symptoms, smoking characteristics and behaviors, and outcome expectancies in undergraduate students with psychometrically identified schizotypy and demographically matched controls without schizotypy. Results from the screening phase revealed no significant differences in schizotypy traits between smokers with schizotypy (n = 77) and nonsmokers with schizotypy (n = 69). Of those who attended the laboratory phase (n = 44), smokers with schizotypy (n = 26) had significantly higher nicotine dependence than control smokers without schizotypy (n = 18). There was also a non-significant trend in which smokers with schizotypy smoked more cigarettes per week. Additionally, results revealed that smokers with schizotypy were more likely than control smokers to endorse more positive consequences (i.e., improved state enhancement, stimulation, social facilitation, taste/sensorimotor manipulation; boredom and negative affect reduction) than negative consequences of smoking. There were no significant differences between smokers with schizotypy and control smokers on smoking behaviors such as smoking topography or CO readings. These preliminary findings offer insight into mechanisms underlying smoking in individuals with schizotypy.

▼ Section 1 Introduction
Cigarette
smoking is anecdotally seen more often amongst schizophrenic than
well subjects. Research has suggested a variety of explanations which are
discussed; the role of genetics, psychosocial explanations and
smoking as selfmedication.
The financial, physical health and treatment options of and for
nicotine dependence are also examined with reference to schizophrenia.
Section 2 Systematic Review of Cigarette
Smoking and Schizophrenia
50 studies were identified with a mean prevalence rate of
smoking in
schizophrenic populations of 66%. Male schizophrenics had a significantly
higher (p=0.04) rate of
smoking and smoked more heavily (p=0.01) than
females. Different settings were also examined.
Section 3 Meta-Analysis of Case-Control Studies examining the
Prevalence of
Smoking in Schizophrenia
11 studies were identified that could be examined in a meta-analysis comparing
prevalence rates of
smoking. Schizophrenic patients were found to be nearly 3
times more likely to smoke than controls.
Section 4 Investigation into Patterns of Cigarette
Smoking in
Schizophrenia Using Data from the Edinburgh High-Risk
Study (EHRS)
At first interview there was a tendency (p=0.18) for high-risk group members
with psychotic symptoms to have ever smoked compared to other high-risk and
control subjects. Schizophrenic controls had a significantly higher prevalence of
ever
smoking compared to the high-risk and control groups (p=0.01). At the fourth interview there was a trend for high-risk subjects showed a nonsignificant
difference in the rates of ever
smoking compared with the controls
(p=0.16). Those subjects who developed schizophrenia showed a clear trend
(p=0.07) towards ever
smoking
Sections 5/6 Synthesis and Discussion of Results/Conclusion
Explanations for the findings are presented. Although schizophrenia and
cigarette
smoking are inextricably linked, further studies are necessary if we are
to more fully understand the nature of this association.

▼ Introduction: Currently, there are over a million individuals living with HIV in North America, with over one-third not in HIV primary care and twice as many reporting cigarette
smoking as non-HIV-infected individuals. Few
smoking cessation programs exist to target this population and little research has been focused on the relationship between
smoking and retention in care. The objectives were to describe patterns of
smoking in HIV-infected adults by demographic characteristics and to estimate the association of
smoking on failing to be retained in HIV primary care. Methods: Analysis included data from five clinical cohorts from the North American Cohort Collaboration on Research and Design (NA-ACCORD). Adults retained in care during the year of their first visit and who contributed laboratory and
smoking data for at least two visits from 2008 to 2010 were analyzed.
Smoking status was time-varying and defined as never, ever, or current. Retention in care was defined
as ≥2 HIV primary care visits ≥90 days apart in a calendar year. Trends in
smoking statuses were described by clinical and demographic characteristics such as age, sex, race, injection drug use (IDU) as HIV risk factor, region of residence, and highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) use. Trends in the proportions of never/ever/current smokers were detected using logistic regression models with generalized estimating equations (GEE) using independent correlation matrixes and robust variance estimations. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard models with the Efron method for ties were used to assess associations between time-varying
smoking status and failing to be retained in HIV primary care over the study period. Results: The sample of 3,575 HIV+ participants were 74% male, 47% African American, 19% IDUs, and 62% Southern US residents. At baseline, 28% were current smokers, 43% ever smokers, and 28% never smokers. 17% of the NA-ACCORD population failed to be
retained in care from 2008 to 2010, with a reduced risk among ever smokers (vs. never) and an increased risk among current smokers (vs. never). Conclusions: Programs incorporating
smoking cessation into HIV clinical care may help better retain current smokers who are trying to quit.

▼ The World Health Organisation has estimated that
smoking kills approximately 7 million people per year
worldwide (WHO, 2017: 70). The relationship between
smoking tobacco and death has been proven, and
widely accepted for decades. Notwithstanding the detrimental effects on public health, this unhealthy
habit may also have some positive effects: oiling social contacts, easing the nerves, and heighten
concentration (Knol in Colombijn et al., 2001: 49). However, whereas concentration and relaxation may
be obtained through other means, a cure for death is yet to be found. As such, it is clear that we shall
approach the act of
smoking in this thesis as unwanted behaviour. Thankfully, owning to big scale
awareness campaigns, and an ongoing global increase in taxation rates, daily
smoking rates in most OECD
countries have significantly decreased over the past few decades, with currently an average rate of 18%
of daily smokers, compared to 26% daily smokers in 2000 (OECD, 2017). In some parts of Asia however,
smoking remains a growth market and big transnational tobacco corporations (TTCs) still seems to have
their claws firmly set in a number of nations (Parkinson, 2015). In terms of male
smoking prevalence,
Indonesia is by far the world’s worst performer with a national male
smoking prevalence of 76.2%, leaving
other bad examples, like Russia (59.0%), and China (47.6%) far behind (WHO, 2015). When accounting for
the significantly lower female
smoking rates (3.6%) Indonesia’s average
smoking prevalence is still one of
the highest in the world, preceded only by Russia, and a mere handful of countries in the Balkan region
and the Pacific Ocean (Ibid.). This apparent vulnerability to the unhealthy habbit has not gone unnoticed
by big tobacco, illustrated by the recent takeovers of Indonesian tobacco companies by global market
leaders like Philip Morris International (PMI) and the British American Tobacco Company (BAT).
Another factor contributing to the alarming severity of Indonesia’s
smoking addiction are its
demographic projections. Indonesia is currently sitting on a large demographic dividend, and the
population is projected to grow with another 70 million by 2050 (Kohler, Behrman & Arianto, 2015: 4).
Seeing that most beginner smokers are children or young adolescents, it is paramount that this surplus of
human capital is protected in a country were
smoking regulations are still below par (Parkinson, 2015). An
alarming study found that between 2001 and 2010, the number of children (10-14) who smoked, rose by
80 percent and the number of children (5-9), who started
smoking, quadrupled (Rosser, 2015: 69). A more
recent study, by the Indonesian Ministry of Health, showed that between 2013 and 2018,
smoking
prevalence among children (10-18) increased from 7.2% to 9.1% (Ministry of Health, 2018: 72), and the
2015 Global School-based Student Health Survey calculated an even more alarming number for the age group 13-17 at 13.60%
smoking prevalence (WHO, 2015: 5). A slightly less pronounced,…

▼ Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
Tobacco smoking is one of the leading modifiable risk factors for chronic disease including cardiovascular disease, cancers and lung related diseases. Despite the declining smoking rates among the general population, smoking rates among those with psychosis have remained stable and high. Individuals with psychosis have very high rates of cigarette smoking and nicotine dependence. They have longer demonstrated smoking histories compared to those without a psychotic disorder and tend to smoke stronger cigarettes, more frequently. The elevated smoking amongst this population in combination with a reduced quit rate places this clinical population at a higher risk of cardiovascular related diseases and as a result, a significantly reduced life expectancy. Cigarette smoking also increases the metabolism of some antipsychotic medications, requiring smokers with schizophrenia to take larger doses to achieve the same therapeutic levels compared to those who do not smoke. This leads to an increase in the number and severity of medication side effects, as well as reducing the therapeutic benefits of these medications. The factors that may affect smoking in psychosis are complex and speculative, and the high rates of smoking are still a pertinent issue. Two major theories that attempt to explain the high rates of smoking amongst those with psychosis are the self-medication hypothesis and the addiction vulnerability hypothesis. The self-medication hypothesis refers to the theory that people with psychosis smoke cigarettes to correct an underlying deficit in their neuropathology and to treat the symptoms of their illness. The addiction vulnerability hypothesis argues that abnormalities in the brain reward pathways may make people with psychosis more vulnerable to smoking, but does not specify whether smoking provides any therapeutic benefits for those with psychosis. The aim of this thesis is to understand the motivations that may encourage smoking initiation and maintenance among those with psychosis. There will be a focus on the self-medication hypothesis and the addiction vulnerability hypothesis, with reference to subjective reasons for cigarette smoking, as well as potential cognitive motivators. A multifaceted approach was employed to address these questions in various samples with established and early psychosis, examining (1) self-reported reasons for smoking and how these influence smoking cessation; (2) the influence of smoking on clinical and cognitive outcomes in young people at ultra-high risk of psychosis or early psychosis; and (3) the influence of smoking on a well-characterised cognitive deficit in people with schizophrenia, visual spatial working memory (VSWM). The findings of this thesis illustrate that there is a clear association between smoking and psychosis. Subjective data were supportive of the self-medication hypothesis, in that participants with psychosis who endorsed more reasons for smoking associated with activation and stimulation motives showed…

▼ Cigarette
smoking causes nearly 6 million deaths worldwide every year (WHO, 2011). Current
smoking cessation therapies available to the public are only marginally effective (Jorenby, 2006; Balfour et al., 2000), partly due to our incomplete understanding of the molecular biology of
smoking addiction. The majority of studies examining the molecular biology of
smoking addiction have focused on nicotine alone. However, there is a growing body of evidence that non-nicotinic components of cigarette smoke contribute to
smoking addiction. Nicotine has previously been shown to modulate the function of the monoamine transporters, but studies in the literature are often contradictory and this effect is not completely understood (see Danielson et al., 2011 for review). Furthermore, very few studies have examined the effects of non-nicotinic components of tobacco smoke on the monoamine transporters.
This thesis has examined the effects of nicotine and a tobacco extract (TPM) on the dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine transporters (DAT, NET, and SERT). Changes in monoamine transporter function, protein expression, and mRNA expression were measured ex vivo in discrete regions of the rat brain following chronic and acute in vivo nicotine and TPM treatment, and in vitro nicotine and TPM treatment. We found that nicotine and TPM affect monoamine transporter function, in a time- and dose-dependent manner, and that intact whole brain circuitry is required for these effects to be seen. In particular, nicotine (0.35 mg/kg) and TPM (containing 0.35 mg/kg nicotine) significantly decreased DAT function in the NAc at 30 min. This effect did not result in a corresponding decrease in DAT protein expression and was mediated by nicotinic receptors containing β2 subunits. Furthermore, TPM caused some changes in monoamine transporter function and mRNA expression that were not observed with nicotine alone. In functional studies this effect was particularly seen in the striatum of rats treated with nicotine (0.35 mg/kg) or TPM (containing 0.35 mg/kg nicotine). Overall these data demonstrate that nicotine affects monoamine transporter function in a nicotinic receptor-dependent manner, and that nicotine and TPM have different effects on monoamine transporter function and expression. This is the first study to examine the effects of TPM on monoamine transporter function, and supports previous evidence of a contribution of non-nicotinic components of cigarette smoke to neuroadaptations related to
smoking. Findings from this study contribute to knowledge on the molecular biology of
smoking addiction, which could in future lead to the development of more effective
smoking cessation therapies.

▼ Electronic cigarettes (e-cigs) represent a family of nicotine-delivery devices that have been gaining in popularity in the past ten years, primarily among cigarette smokers. While the literature evaluating the prevalence, safety, and acute effects of these devices is still emerging, recent studies have demonstrated that e-cig use (“vaping”) exerts acute effects on craving, withdrawal, urge to smoke conventional cigarettes, and possibly mood. This pilot study aimed to add to this literature, with a focus on the potential role of mood regulation for e-cig use.
The current study employed a 2 x 2 mixed within- and between-subjects design, manipulating nicotine content and mood context: Nineteen dual users (conventional and electronic cigarettes) were randomized to use an e-cig either with or without nicotinized solution over the course of two laboratory sessions, one to induce negative mood, and, the other, a neutral control. From before to after vaping, participants evidenced a reduction in measures of negative affect (NA), subjective nicotine withdrawal, and urge to smoke cigarettes, as well as an enhancement of positive affect. These effects were evident regardless of mood condition visit; however, after negative mood induction via IAPS slides presentation, there was evidence of greater change in NA from before to after vaping compared to neutral condition. In addition, participants who were female and reported greater recent depression symptoms demonstrated greater NA overall, and potentially greater relief of NA from before to after vaping during the negative mood condition.
These findings add to the growing literature characterizing those who vape, and among dual conventional cigarette and electronic cigarette users suggests presence of acute mood reinforcing effects in addition to attenuated nicotine withdrawal and urge to smoke due to vaping, effects that may maintain vaping and other substance use over time.

▼ Background: Research studies show smokers are more likely to suffer from complications after surgery. These preventable events cost the nation approximately $17 billion a year and impact both the health of the community and the finances of healthcare systems. Purpose: To determine the effect of a nurse-led smoking cessation intervention in the preoperative setting on reducing both postoperative complications and healthcare costs due to smoking. Method: This was a prospective cohort study to include smokers undergoing a surgical procedure. The participants received a brief smoking cessation education intervention in a preoperative clinic given by a nurse, describing the benefits of smoking cessation and the risks smoking presents for surgical recovery. Evaluation: All data was cleaned and coded. Patients lost to follow up or with missing data elements were not included. The intervention cohort postoperative complication data results were compared to postoperative complication rates in a historical cohort before implementation of the smoking cessation intervention. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the baseline characteristics of the cohorts. The chi-square test was calculated to analyze the association between the categorical data. Results: The sample size of 100 participants meeting the inclusion criteria was reached. 22% of participants quit smoking and 47% reduced the number of cigarettes they smoked preoperatively. Chi-square results comparing postoperative complication rates between the interventional and historical cohorts was not statistically significant with a p-value of 0.08 and resulted in a null hypothesis. The comparison between combined quit/reduced smoking participants with those continuing to smoke within the interventional group was statistically significant for reduced postoperative complications with a p-value<0.05. Conclusion: The results concluded a smoking cessation intervention before surgery reduced postoperative complications and healthcare costs for this hospital in the intervention group. Preoperative patient education should reinforce smoking cessation to optimize postoperative outcomes.

▼ Chronic pain and
smoking commonly co-occur, and their combination appears to have synergetic degenerative effects. While the literature investigating the association between chronic pain and
smoking is relatively modest, the existent research reveals some important findings. Specifically,
smoking is likely reinforced among individuals with chronic pain via the analgesic properties of nicotine, and that this effect is moderated by gender and cigarette consumption. However, little is known regarding the effects of chronic pain on factors believed to influence
smoking relapse. The purpose of this study was to investigate the affect of chronic pain on nicotine withdrawal (NW) and readiness to quit (RTQ)
smoking among two groups of regular smokers: those with and without chronic pain. Participants attended a baseline session (nicotine satiated) and a 24-hour nicotine deprivation session. It was hypothesized that: 1) nicotine deprivation would exacerbate pain severity, 2) NW severity would be more pronounced in the pain group, and moderated by gender, and 3) there would be a negative relationship between RTQ and the experience of chronic pain. Time invariant variables (i.e. demographics, RTQ) were collected at the baseline session, and time variant variables (i.e. NW severity, pain severity) were collected at both sessions. Data were analyzed via chi-square, ANOVA, and linear regression analyses where appropriate. Analyses revealed that, contrary to prediction, nicotine deprivation decreased pain experience in women, but did not affect pain in men. Further, no relationship was found between chronic pain, NW severity, or RTQ. The clinical and theoretical implications of these results are discussed.

▼ Brief Interventions for
Smoking Cessation:
A Preliminary Study on Therapist Self-Efficacy and Practice
Previous research outlined in clinical practice guidelines for cigarette
smoking patients indicates that brief interventions by health care professionals can change
smoking behavior. It is well documented that cigarette
smoking and psychopathology frequently co-occur suggesting that psychologists are in a prime position to help clients stop
smoking. Despite the existence of the Clinical Practice Guidelines for Treating Tobacco Use psychologists are reportedly reluctant to intervene due to lack of knowledge, training, and self-efficacy for conducting brief
smoking interventions. This study addressed barriers to the provision of
smoking cessation interventions by mental health care providers. Forty clinical and counseling graduate student therapists were assigned to either a group that was provided training or a control group who received no training until the study was completed. Repeated measures ANOVA’s revealed that the trained group became more familiar with brief
smoking interventions and their skills for providing such treatments increased. Further, students’ perceived professional responsibility toward providing such interventions also increased, however, their confidence to provide such interventions only increased with clients who reported being motivated to make a quit attempt. The clinical and theoretical implications of these results are discussed.

▼ Smoking is the primary and most preventable cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States, with smoking rates being particularly high among Veterans who experience high rates of mental health and substance use disorders. This study investigates the prevalence of smoking among depressed patients in Veterans Affairs primary care. Correlates of smoking status were examined in order to improve understanding of the relations among smoking status, psychosocial characteristics, physical and mental health problems, suicide risk, mental health stigma and substance misuse, and to find predictive factors of smoking abstinence and cessation over time. Study findings have potential to inform development and/or implementation of targeted smoking cessation interventions for depressed Veterans presenting in VA primary care.

▼ Background: Data on the typical daily exposure of non-smokers to second-hand smoke (SHS) are limited. The aim of this study was to estimate the SHS exposure encountered by adults and children in Scotland and to examine the proportion of total exposure received within different microenvironments. Methods: Primary research was carried out to gather information on SHS concentrations within cars in both simulated and real-life settings. Observational work was also carried out to determine the prevalence of exposure to SHS in cars. Further work was carried out to gather information on occupational SHS exposure. Data from all of these components were combined with data from previously published sources to produce estimates of how much SHS-derived PM2.5 exposure is typically received by adults and children within different micro-environments. Results: The contribution to total SHS exposure from each micro-environment was calculated. This was carried out for a child living in: a non-smoking home; a home where only the father smokes; a home where only the mother smokes; and a home where both parents smoke. In addition to this the equivalent dose of SHS inhaled (expressed as a mass) were also calculated for each of the micro-environments. This method was also used to determine the SHS contribution of different micro-environments for adult non-smokers. Exposure calculations were carried out assuming that exposure in the home was reduced to the levels found in non-smoking homes and the contribution from the remaining micro-environments unchanged. Observations identified that 2.4% of cars carrying children exposed children to SHS and exposure intensities during smoking car journeys can be particularly high with peak exposures ranging from 55 to 886 μgm-3. Conclusion: This is the first study to estimate the SHS exposure contributions from different microenvironments encountered by children and adults in Scotland. This study indicates that encouraging behavioural change in terms of smoking in home and car micro-environments has the greatest potential to reduce non-smokers’ daily exposure to tobacco derived fine particulate matter.

▼ Among cigarette smokers, elevations in maladaptive transdiagnostic vulnerabilities, including distress intolerance (DI), anxiety sensitivity (AS), and experiential avoidance (EA) are associated with poorer outcomes across the course of use. A common mechanism underlying these outcomes is thought to be an increase in the frequency and intensity of negative affect elicited during nicotine use brought about by these elevations. Despite commonalities, to date no investigation has examined whether smokers can be characterized by latent subgroups of shared vulnerability profiles. To examine potential subgroups, a latent profile analysis (LPA) was conducted among a sample of treatment-seeking daily smokers (N = 435), with measures of DI, AS, and EA serving as indicators of class members, and demographic variables,
smoking heaviness, motives, and expectancies serving as covariates. The initial model solution revealed that specific covariates exerted a direct effect on profile structure, necessitating a re-examination of the latent profile solution, including covariates that exhibited a significant pairwise association in the previous best-fitting model. The final model revealed a three-profile solution, wherein smokers were characterized primarily by Low EA (35.7% of the sample), Elevated EA (53.3%), or Elevated AS (11%). Individuals who endorsed
smoking because of its addictive qualities were more likely to be members of the Elevated AS or Elevated EA profiles, relative to the Low EA profile. In addition, individuals of lower educational achievement were more likely to be members of the Elevated AS profile than the Elevated or Low EA profiles. Results provide preliminary evidence that treatment-seeking smokers exhibit discriminable transdiagnostic profiles, and that profiles are differentially related to demographics and
smoking-specific outcomes.

In 2008, Portugal implemented a smoking ban, restricting smoking in workplaces and indoor public places. The aim of this study is to understand whether there was any effect in smoking prevalence due to the ban. Using the 4th Portuguese National Health Survey and an online survey collected in 2012, designed for this project, a probit model was estimated. The conclusions were that, so far, the ban seems to have been unable to counteract an apparent increase in young adult smoking. Young adult smokers are characterized by starting at an older age (18 years old) and being mainly light smokers (78%).

This dissertation thesis is an integrated
part of the international FINBALT HEALTH MONITOR project. Aim of
the study was to evaluate the social inequalities in smoking habits
and their trends in Lithuanian adult population in 1994 – 2008. The
data for the study were derived from eight cross-sectional surveys
conducted every second year. An independent national random sample
of 3000 inhabitants aged 20-64 was taken from National Population
Register for every survey. The data were collected through postal
surveys using standard questionnaire. Over fourteen years the
questionnaire was filled-in by 15158 persons. The response rate
ranged from 58.0% to 74.4%. The trends in daily smoking, ex-smoking
and never smoking as well as the trends in social inequalities of
smoking habits over fourteen years were estimated. The prevalence
of passive smoking at home and in work was examined in relation
with socio-demographic factors. The physical tobacco dependence of
Lithuanian inhabitants was evaluated. The activeness of health care
professionals in providing smoking - cessation interventions was
determined as to be insufficient. The obtained data are relevant
for the evaluation of the effectiveness of tobacco control measures
implemented in Lithuania.
