ObjectiveNumerous studies have observed higher rates of smoking among adults with mental health conditions. We examined posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and smoking over a 7–9 year period among adults with firsthand exposure to the 9/11 attacks enrolled in the World Trade Center Health Registry.MethodData were collected at three waves: W1 (2003–04), W2 (2006–07), and W3 (2011–12). Enrollees aged ≥ 25 at W1 and who completed all three waves (n = 34,458) were categorized by smoker-type: non-smoker, non-daily (smoked some days in last 30 days), light (1–10 cigarettes per day (CPD)), or heavy (11 + CPD). Enrollees who smoked at W1 but not W3 were considered to have quit. PTSD was defined as a score of ≥ 44 on the PTSD Checklist—Civilian Version.ResultsSmoking declined significantly from W1 (12.6%) to W3 (9.2%). Smoking prevalence was higher among enrollees with PTSD. In multivariable models, odds of quitting were 25–39% lower among heavy, light, and non-daily smokers with PTSD compared to those without.ConclusionPTSD was associated with reduced odds of quitting regardless of smoker-type. Disaster-exposed smokers with PTSD are likely in need of more supportive services in order to abstain from smoking.
