People taking addiction treatment are more likely to smoke: Study


The findings suggest that substance abuse programs do not sufficiently address tobacco use issues.

"When people come into treatment for drugs and alcohol, we are not treating another addiction that has a significant chance of eventually killing them, which is tobacco use," said lead researcher Joseph Guydish, professor at the University of California, San Francisco, US.

"At a public health level, this means that our addiction treatment efforts should address smoking and tobacco use better than they do now," Guydish noted. http://post.jagran.com/people-taking-addiction-treatment-are-more-likely-to-smoke-study-1443005603
