However, our understanding regarding the association between psychopathy and nicotine use remains limited, which is surprising, given the detrimental consequences associated with such use. Previous studies have observed significant correlations between psychopathic traits (particularly Factor 2 scores assessing lifestyle/behavioral and antisocial traits from the Psychopathy Checklist - Revised [PCL-R]) and increased frequency of nicotine use. However, no study has investigated whether individuals scoring high on psychopathy are characterized by problematic patterns of nicotine use, including lifetime history of nicotine dependence.<i>Objectives:</i> The current stSubstance use & misusePsychopathic Traits Are Associated with Lifetime History of Nicotine Dependence among Incarcerated Offenders.PMC9970823R01 DA026964R01 DA020870R01 DA055158R01 MH070539R01 DA026505R01 MH085010Edwards BGKiehl KAMaurer JMHarenski CLfalsePsychopathic Traits Are Associated with Lifetime History of Nicotine Dependence among Incarcerated Offenders.<i>Background:</i> Individuals scoring high on psychopathy engage in problematic patterns of alcohol and illicit substance use.
