{"title":"The relationship between smoking and unemployment: New avenues for interdisciplinary research.","authors":"João Mauricio Castaldelli-Maia,&nbsp;Nikhil Masters","doi":"10.1177/0020764015589603","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/0020764015589603","url":null,"abstract":"It is well accepted that both smoking and unemployment have severe adverse effects on health and well-being (Grossi, Perski, Lundberg, & Soares, 2011; Lim et al., 2012). The Global Burden Disease Study (2010) considered smoking to be the second largest risk factor, based on disability-adjusted life years being a major contributor to cancer and respiratory disease (Lim et al., 2012). Unemployment has been shown to be associated with increased rates of ill health and psychological and psychophysiological symptoms (Grossi et al., 2011). In addition, there is considerable evidence that an association exists between smoking and unemployment. In this letter, we offer some suggestions about how to explore this relationship from an interdisciplinary perspective. Studies show that rates of unemployment are highest among smokers compared to non-smokers (Ponniah & Bloomfield, 2008; Okechukwu, Bacic, Cheng, & Catalano, 2012; Rizov, Herzfeld, & Huffman, 2012; Prochaska, Shi, & Rogers, 2013; Kaleta, Makowiec-Dąbrowska, Dziankowska-Zaborszczyk, & Fronczak, 2013). This finding is robust to differences across countries such as smoking prevalence, cigarettes per person, gross domestic product (GDP) per capita and unemployment rates. Despite this, the cross-sectional evidence above is only associative and does not address the issue of causality. For example, although unemployment may lead to poor health, those in poor health are more likely to be unemployed. Longitudinal studies are therefore important in order to distinguish between these selection and causal effects. Unfortunately, such studies have presented mixed findings with the causal relationship of unemployment on smoking behaviour being inconsistent across countries studied and methodologies used (Schunck & Rogge, 2012; Marcus, 2014). One interesting observation is that smoking is more prevalent among the job-seeking unemployed compared to nonjob seekers (Prochaska et al., 2013). A possible explanation for this could be that stress is a mediating factor. Although the relationships between stress and smoking and stress and unemployment are well documented (Fielden & Davidson, 1999; Siahpush, Borland, & Scollo, 2003), research linking stress, smoking and unemployment is sparse (De Vogli & Santinello, 2005). We believe that microeconomic experiments could be beneficial in this area. Extending previous research on the neurophysical/behavioural responses to stress (Buckert, Schwieren, Kudielka, & Fiebach, 2014), insights could be made from measuring acute cortisol/ adrenaline responses while making economic decisions and testing for smoking status as well as comparing specific participant pools such as those actively seeking work and the long-term unemployed. Another factor that may explain the relationship between smoking and unemployment is impulsivity. Several studies provide evidence of an association between smoking addiction and impulsivity. Compared to non-smokers, smokers score higher on impulsivity sc","PeriodicalId":257862,"journal":{"name":"The International journal of social psychiatry","volume":" ","pages":"613-4"},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2015-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/0020764015589603","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"34277893","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
