The impact of caffeine use on tobacco cessation and withdrawal
Article Abstract:
Repeated caffeine consumption accompanied by smoking cessation increases the caffeine plasma level, causing caffeine toxicity in smoking abstainers. The caffeine abstainers show tobacco and caffeine withdrawal symptoms, while the users display only tobacco withdrawals. High and low caffeine users exhibit increased sleeping hours. Increased caffeine sputum concentrations following cessation fail to affect the continuous caffeine users after cessation. Repeated caffeine use or its abstinence fails to affect the smokers' success in the first week of abstinence.

Cigarette smoking in a student sample: neurocognitive and clinical correlates
Article Abstract:
The study tested predictions based on two theoretical models, the self-medication model and the orbitofrontal/disinhibition model, of tobacco use in young adults. It reveals that while self-medication models could help gain insight into the relation between tobacco use and specific neuropsychiatric syndromes, the findings suggests that the onset of smoking behavior among university students does not represent an attempt to "self-medicate".

Transitions to cigarette smoking during adolescence
Article Abstract:
The study of the process of transition from nonsmoking to regular smoking over a 10 to 16 year period reveals that efforts to improve measurement accuracy necessitate focus on methods which help occasional smokers report their behavior properly. The best way of measuring smoking behaviors in childhood would be to compare regular smokers with other children rather than to compare smokers with nonsmokers.
