Tobacco addiction in the psychiatric population and in the general population.

CONCLUSION: Nicotine dependence was greater in the psychiatric population than in the general population. The independent factors associated with severe dependence were sex, age group, diagnosis, and current risk of suicide. These results trigger reflection among nurses on the need to focus more attention on a neglected subject in mental health services. PMID: 29211192 [PubMed - in process]
