IV. REVIEW OFRELATED LITERATURE

Cigarette smoking is the largest preventable risk factor for morbidity and
mortality developed in countries. Dramatic changes in the prevalence of cigarette
smoking in the second half of this century in the United States have reduced
current smoking levels to approximately one quarter of the adult population and
have reduced educational achievement, and disadvantaged neighborhood
environment. Daily smokers smoke cigarettes to maintain nicotine levels in the
brain, primarily to avoid the negative effects of nicotine withdrawal, but also to
modulate mood. Regular smokers exhibit higher and lower levels of stress and
arousal, respectively, than nonsmokers, as well as higher impulsivity and
neuroticism trait values. Nicotine dependence is the single most common
psychiatric diagnosis, and substance abuse, major depression, and anxiety
disorders are the most prevalent psychiatric comorbid conditions associated with
nicotine dependence.
Cigarette smoking, hereafter referred to as smoking is the largest single
risk factor for premature death in developing countries.
