ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Although recent research shows that smokers respond differently to
the COVID-19 pandemic, it offers little explanation of why some have increased
their smoking, while others decreased it. In this study, we examined a possible
explanation for these different responses: pandemic-related stress.
Material and Methods:
We conducted an online survey among a representative sample of Dutch
current smokers from 11–18 May 2020 (n=957). During that period, COVID-19 was six weeks past the (initial) peak of cases and deaths in the Netherlands.
Included in the survey were measures of how the COVID-19 pandemic had
changed their smoking, if at all (no change, increased smoking, decreased
smoking), and a measure of stress due to COVID-19.
Results:
Overall, while 14.1% of smokers reported smoking less due to the COVID-19 pandemic, 18.9% of smokers reported smoking more. A multinomial logistic
regression analysis revealed that there was a dose-response effect of stress:
smokers who were somewhat stressed were more likely to have either increased
(OR=2.37; 95% CI: 1.49–3.78) or reduced (OR=1.80; 95% CI: 1.07–3.05) their
smoking. Severely stressed smokers were even more likely to have either increased
(OR=3.75; 95% CI: 1.84–7.64) or reduced (OR=3.97; 95% CI: 1.70–9.28) their
smoking. Thus, stress was associated with both increased and reduced smoking,
independently from perceived difficulty of quitting and level of motivation to quit.
Conclusions:
Stress related to the COVID-19 pandemic appears to affect smokers
in different ways, some smokers increase their smoking while others decrease it.
While boredom and restrictions in movement might have stimulated smoking, the
threat of contracting COVID-19 and becoming severely ill might have motivated
others to improve their health by quitting smoking. These data highlight the
importance of providing greater resources for cessation services and the
importance of creating public campaigns to enhance cessation in this dramatic
time.
