Despite the cost and health consequences, a large number of people continue to smoke cigarettes worldwide every day. Notwithstanding, there have been a number of interventions to help people stop smoking but, in general, these have produced only limited success, and better interventions are needed. Accruing evidence affirmed that rumination and executive function play a pivotal role in cigarette smoking behavior, and in this editorial, we describe and discuss the key findings between these constructs and smoking, and argue that an impairment in executive functions does not act alone, but interacts with rumination by directing attention to depressive thoughts, thereby reducing the ability of smokers to engage in constructive behaviors, such as quitting smoking. Finally, we offer a new theory-driven model based on a deep understanding of the interactions between executive functions and rumination and potential moderator effects.
尽管吸烟会带来成本和健康后果，但全球每天仍有大量的人继续吸烟。尽管如此，已经有许多干预措施来帮助人们戒烟，但总体而言，这些措施仅取得了有限的成功，因此需要更好的干预措施。越来越多的证据证实，反刍思维和执行功能在吸烟行为中起着关键作用，在这篇社论中，我们描述并讨论了这些构念与吸烟之间的关键发现，并认为执行功能受损并非单独起作用，而是通过将注意力导向抑郁想法与反刍思维相互作用，从而降低吸烟者从事建设性行为（如戒烟）的能力。最后，基于对执行功能与反刍思维之间的相互作用以及潜在调节效应的深入理解，我们提出了一个新的理论驱动模型。
