Mind-body interventions can improve vulnerabilities that underlie smoking behavior. The characteristics of smokers who use mind-body medicine have not been explored, preventing the development of targeted interventions. Patients ( N = 593) presenting to a mind-body medicine clinic completed self-report measures. Patients were 67 percent never smokers, 27 percent former smokers, and 6 percent current smokers. Current smokers were younger; more likely to be single, unemployed, or on disability; and report greater depression symptoms, greater pain, and lower social support ( ps < .05).Current smokers who use mind-body medicine have unique psychosocial needs that should be targeted in mind-body smoking cessation interventions.
身心干预可以改善吸烟行为的潜在弱点。目前尚未研究使用身心医学的吸烟者的特征，这阻碍了有针对性干预措施的发展。在身心医学诊所就诊的患者（N=593）完成了自我报告的测量。患者中 67%从未吸烟，27%为前吸烟者，6%为现吸烟者。现吸烟者更年轻；更有可能单身、失业或残疾；并且报告更多的抑郁症状、更多的疼痛和更低的社会支持（p<0.05）。使用身心医学的现吸烟者具有独特的心理社会需求，身心戒烟干预措施应针对这些需求。
