ABSTRACT
Background:
Smoking is highly prevalent in people with opioid use disorder (OUD) and is a significant contributor to morbidity and mortality in this population. However, little is known about the differences between those with OUD who do and do not smoke cigarettes.Objectives:
Our aim was to investigate differences between treatment-seeking adults with OUD who did and did not smoke.Methods:
Participants (N = 568; 30% female) completed a battery of self-report questionnaires including measures of current smoking status and number of cigarettes smoked per day as well as measures of clinical characteristics (e.g. craving, anxiety).Results:
Of the total sample, 77% were current smokers. Multivariable logistic regression identified heroin use (OR = 2.20, 95% CI = 1.38, 3.53) and younger age (OR = 0.97, 95% CI = 0.95, 0.997) as strong correlates of smoking status; other characteristics were not significant. Older age and opioid craving were associated with more cigarettes smoked per day. Notably, these patterns differed for males and females; opioid craving (B = 0.62, SEB = 0.24) was associated with the number of cigarettes smoked among men, and anxiety (B = 0.39, SEB = 0.19) was associated with the number of cigarettes smoked among women.Conclusion:
Adults with OUD who used heroin in the past month were more likely to be current smokers. No sex differences were observed in likelihood of smoking; however, the predictors of smoking status and severity differed between men and women.Key words
