    Journal: Subst Use Misuse; 1996 Jan; 31(1):17-33. PubMed ID: 8838391.
    Abstract:
    We report gender-specific data on tobacco use and quitting smoking from three studies of nicotine-related issues during alcoholism treatment. Study 1 data are from 309 alcoholism treatment professionals who were current or former smokers with a personal history of alcoholism or problem drinking. Study 2 data are from 496 smokers receiving counseling for their problems with alcohol in outpatient alcoholism treatment centers. Study 3 data are from 90 smokers receiving intensive alcoholism treatment in residential or inpatient programs. Interest in smoking cessation was high in all groups. Significant gender differences were apparent among the recovering alcoholics but not among the problem drinkers. Severity of alcohol use problems also showed some association with smoking cessation behaviors.
