Smoking among inpatients in treatment for substance use disorders: prevalence and effect on mental health and quality of life

Compared to non-smokers at baseline, patients in primary alcohol use disorder treatment that are smokers had higher drop-out rates (37% vs. 13%), more mental distress, and lower quality of life from baseline up to 6 months follow-up https://t.co/VlmJ4lVKjz

smoking cessation should be recommended as an integral part of alcohol use treatment both before and during inpatient treatment to reduce drop-out. https://t.co/bYOsw8a95y
