Prospective and Daily Effects of Cannabis Use on Smoking Outcomes During a Self-Guided Quit Attempt.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Past research suggests that cannabis use is a risk factor for relapse in people trying to quit smoking. Most people attempt to quit smoking without any assistance (ie, self-guided quitters), yet no one has examined the association between cannabis use and relapse among self-guided quitters. The current study examines how cannabis use might contribute to poorer smoking outcomes in a sample of self-guided quitters.

Aims and methods

Data were taken from a study of unaided smoking cessation in 62 single-smoker couples. Quitters and their Partners completed baseline questionnaires and a 21-day ecological momentary assessment. This article examines Quitters' and Partners' past-year cannabis use reported at baseline and daily cannabis use during the ecological momentar
