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.
这篇综述文章的目的是呈现和评估关于哮喘与吸烟之间关联的实证文献。作者利用电子搜索引擎（即PsycINFO和MEDLINE）进行文献检索，使用以下关键词算法来检查数据库：吸烟或尼古丁或烟草与哮喘。在本综述中，仅考察了专注于主动吸烟且仅分析哮喘患者群体的文章。总体而言，实证证据表明：（1）哮喘患者中吸烟的比例高于非哮喘患者；（2）吸烟是哮喘发病的一个风险因素；（3）吸烟与哮喘控制不佳、死亡率增加以及哮喘发作和加重的风险增加有关；（4）有哮喘和无哮喘的吸烟者在吸烟起始的风险因素、吸烟动机和结果预期方面可能有所不同；（5）戒烟与肺功能改善和哮喘症状缓解有关。该研究领域未来的工作将带来临床相关的医疗进展，以及探索哮喘 - 吸烟共病问题的理论驱动、方法多样的研究方向的发展。
