Animal studies have shown that when nicotine is administered in the presence of other animals (as compared with alone), it is more rewarding. As a human analogue to these studies, rewards associated with designated smoking areas on university campuses were examined, since these areas promote using nicotine in the presence of others.
Participants were 118 (Sample 1, collected November 2011) and 94 (Sample 2, collected April 2012) student smokers at a midwestern university.
Data were collected via an Internet survey.
Social interaction while smoking on campus (as compared with smoking alone) significantly increased the perceived reward of smoking, looking forward to spending time in the campus smoking areas, and how many times the campus smoking areas were visited.
Although designated smoking areas may protect nonsmoking students from the dangers of secondhand smoke, these areas may increase the rewards associated with nicotine for the smokers who use them.
动物研究表明，当尼古丁与其他动物同时存在时给予（与单独给予相比），其奖赏性更强。作为这些研究的人类模拟实验，对大学校园指定吸烟区相关的奖赏进行了考察，因为这些区域促使人们在他人面前使用尼古丁。
参与者为一所中西部大学的118名（样本1，于2011年11月收集）和94名（样本2，于2012年4月收集）学生吸烟者。
通过网络调查收集数据。
在校园吸烟时的社交互动（与独自吸烟相比）显著增加了对吸烟奖赏的感知、期待在校园吸烟区度过时光的程度以及前往校园吸烟区的次数。
虽然指定吸烟区可能保护不吸烟的学生免受二手烟危害，但这些区域可能会增加使用它们的吸烟者对尼古丁相关奖赏的感受。
