Urgency Predicts Differences in Cigarette Consumption

Smokers have been classified into three separate groups based on cigarette consumption where regular smokers consume more than 5 cigarettes a day, chippers consume 5 cigarettes a day or less, and social smokers only smoke when they drink alcohol. The current study examined smoking group differenc...

The current study examined smoking group differences by self-regulation, alcohol use, and alcohol-related problems. Participants (n = 535) completed an online survey. A 3-step multinomial logistic regression was used to analyze the data. When compared to regular smokers, chippers exhibited lower negative urgency (RRR = 0.94, p = .035). Social smokers consumed more alcohol (RRR = 2.37, p < .001), and exhibited lower negative urgency (RRR = 0.93, p = .004) than regular smokers. Compared to chippers, social smokers consumed more alcohol (RRR = 1.71, p = .001). These findings suggest there are notable differences between smoking classes. The results highlight the importance of examining different classes of smokers. 2018-03-27T18:35:54Z 2018-03-27T18:35:54Z 2015 text/thesis https://hdl.handle.net/10365/27881 NDSU Policy 190.6.2 https://www.ndsu.edu/fileadmin/policy/190.pdf application/pdf North Dakota State University
