Quit ratios for cigarette smoking among individuals with opioid misuse and opioid use disorder in the United States.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The prevalence of cigarette smoking is more than two times higher among individuals with versus without opioid misuse and/or opioid use disorders (OUD). Overall, smoking cessation has increased over time although it is unknown whether it has similarly increased for those with opioid misuse or OUD. The current study examined cigarette quit ratios from 2002 to 2018 among US individuals with and without opioid misuse or OUD.

Methods

Data came from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, a yearly cross-sectional survey of US civilians 12 years or older. Annual quit ratios (i.e., proportion of former smokers among lifetime-smokers) were estimated from 2002 to 2018. Logistic regression tested time trends in quit ratios by opioid misuse/OUD.
