Study: heavy smoking impacts student mental health

September 5, 2006 By WRN Contributor

College students who smoke heavily may have more mental health problems.

Doctor Eric Heiligenstein, director of psychiatry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Health Services and lead investigator on the study, which compared some 500 students who sought treatment at the university clinic. Analyses revealed heavy student smokers — who smoked more than 10 cigarettes a day — reported substantially poorer well-being, greater depression and anxiety, and more functional disability. Heiligenstein says it's important for mental health providers to ask students whether or not they smoke.
