This study compared the tobacco smoking of alcohol and drug abuse patients. The subjects were male inpatients (67 alcohol, 60 drug, and 13 mixed alcohol and drug abusers) of a Veterans Administration substance abuse program who had completed the Tolerance Questionnaire (Fagerstrom, 1978) and the Michigan Alcohol Screening Test (Skinner, 1979) as part of routine intake assessment procedures. As expected, an extremely high percentage (89.6%) of the alcohol abusers reported smoking cigarettes. Interestingly, an equally high prevalence of smoking was noted among the drug (90.0%) and mixed substance abuse (100%) groups. Comparisons conducted between abuse groups indicated that the alcohol abusers smoked significantly more cigarettes per day and had significantly higher Tolerance Questionnaire scores than the drug abusers, but did not differ from the mixed abuse group on any smoking variable. Additional comparisons of the total substance abuse population with a national sample of similarly aged males indicated that only the alcohol group smoked more cigarettes per day, but that all substance abuse groups smoked higher nicotine delivery cigarettes than the national sample.
本研究比较了酗酒和药物滥用患者的吸烟情况。研究对象为退伍军人管理局药物滥用项目中的男性住院患者（67名酗酒者、60名药物滥用者以及13名酗酒和药物混合滥用者），他们作为常规入院评估程序的一部分，完成了耐受性问卷（法格斯特龙，1978年）和密歇根酒精筛查测试（斯金纳，1979年）。正如预期的那样，极高比例（89.6%）的酗酒者报告有吸烟习惯。有趣的是，药物滥用组（90.0%）和药物混合滥用组（100%）的吸烟率同样很高。在各滥用组之间进行的比较表明，酗酒者每天吸烟的数量显著多于药物滥用者，且耐受性问卷得分也显著更高，但在任何吸烟变量上与药物混合滥用组并无差异。将药物滥用总人群与年龄相仿的全国男性样本进行的其他比较表明，只有酗酒组每天吸烟更多，但所有药物滥用组吸的香烟尼古丁含量均高于全国样本。
