BACKGROUND: Smoking behavior in Indonesia increases from year to year. The adverse effects of smoking do not appear directly after the cigarette use, but they will be seen in a few months or even in several years. The adverse effects of smoking include nicotine dependence, and anxiety disorder felt as a part of withdrawal symptoms. AIM: This research aims to identify if there is a correlation between nicotine dependence level and anxiety level in adolescents. METHODS: This study is non-experiment research with a quantitative method and a cross-sectional approach. The sample of the study was 44 people. Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence was used as the instrument to measure the nicotine dependence level, while the instrument for anxiety level was carried out using the Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale. RESULTS: The correlation analysis between the level of nicotine dependence and anxiety conducted using Spearman rho non-parametric correlation analysis obtained a significant value of 0.0001 (p > 0.05). The value of r = 0.979 showed a positive and robust correlation between nicotine dependence and anxiety level. CONCLUSION: It is concluded that there is a strong and positive correlation between the nicotine dependence level and the anxiety level in adolescents.

Smoking behavior is one problem in schizophrenic patients. The prevalence of smoking in schizophrenic patients is reported 2-4 times greater than the normal population. Nicotine can induce the dopamine release so it increase positive symptom and improve negative symptom also cognitive deficits. These effects are an attempt by schizophrenic patients to reduce the side effects of antipsychotic drugs. This causes the need of increased antipsychotic doses. This study aims to determine the correlation between nicotine dependence level andnegative symptom in Schizophrenic Patients at Psychiatric Department, PTPN XI Djatiroto Hospital Lumajang. This is an analytical observational study with cross sectional study design which uses 30 patients with schizophrenia at Psychiatric Department, PTPN XI Djatiroto Hospital Lumajang who met inclusion and  exclusion criteria. Nicotine dependence level and negative symptom were obtained with guided interview based on Fagerström Nicotine Dependence (FTND) questionnaire and score of Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) negative subscale. Spearman correlation test result between these variables is p=0,019 and r=0,426 which means there is significant correlation with moderate strength between nicotine dependence level and negative symptom in Schizophrenic patients at Psychiatric Department, PTPN XI Djatiroto Hospital Lumajang. Keywords: Schizophrenia, Negative Symptom, Nicotine Dependence

460 of 1025 contacted individuals completed the Taylor Manifest Anxiety Scale and a questionnaire on smoking behavior. The data indicated that smokers, as a group, scored higher on the anxiety scale than nonsmokers. No support for the notion of a significant correlation between amount of smoking and level of anxiety was obtained. Ss reported increases in smoking behavior during periods of stress but indicated that these increases were usually not maintained beyond the period of stress.

Cigarettes are very dangerous for health. The Global Adults Tobacco Survey (GATS) survey estimated that as many as 7.9 billion adults became active smokers and about 3.5 billion people were exposed to cigarette smoke at work. Indonesia ranks 4th out of 10 countries with a population of smokers (4%) after China (38%), Russia (7%) and the United States (5%) (Ministry of Health, 2012). Every cigarette smoked contains a lot of toxic substances, especially carbon monoxide (CO) which can damage the sympathetic nervous system and hemoglobin desaturation.This study aims to see the effect of the number of cigarettes with CO levels in adolescent smokers in vocational schools. This research is a quantitative research with cross-sectional design. The sample in this study amounted to 20 people in which the sampling technique used was purposive sampling. This study was conducted on July  2018 in SMK in the city of Jambi. Analysis using the Wilcoxon test.The results showed that the average number of cigarettes smoked by teenagers per day was 3.2 cigarettes, and the average CO level was 10.1ppm. The results of the analysis with Wilcoxon test showed that there was an effect of the number of cigarettes on CO levels with a p value of 0,000, meaning that there was a relationship between the number of cigarettes and CO levels in adolescent smokers in SMKs.The results of this study are expected to be a reference for teenagers to know the content of cigarettes and their dangers so that they can stop smoking behavior.

Background:Cigarette smoking and nicotine dependence is prevalent among the attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) pediatric population. We assessed the influence of methylphenidate treatment on the smoking behavior of adolescent girls with ADHD/ borderline personality disorder (BPD).Method:Twelve ADHD/BPD female adolescent smokers aged 14-19 years were treated with MPH for an 8 week period. The severity of ADHD was assessed by the ADHD Rating Scale (ADHD-RS) and the smoking behavior was rated by Fagerstorm Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND).Results:Significant improvement was detected in ADHD symptomathology, (Baseline vs. endpoint: ADHD-RS : 33.1±6.8 vs. 19.9±6.8, t=6.875, df=11, p=0.0001). A decline in the severity of nicotine dependence, as assessed by FTND (baseline vs. endpoint: 4.1±2.6 vs. 2.0±1.9, t = 4.056, df=11, p= 0.0019), was observed. No significant correlation was found between changes in the ADHD-RS and the FTND following methylphenidate treatment (r=0.09935, p=0.7587).Conclusion:Methylphenidate may attenuate smoking behavior in ADHD/BPD female adolescent smokers.

Nicotine dependence is one of the main reasons for the continuation of smoking among adolescents. Loss of autonomy (LOA) is a measure of dependence. This study is the first to investigate LOA and its determinants among Greek adolescents. In 2013, 13-to-15-year-old middle-school students were selected by multi-stage clustered sampling. LOA was evaluated with the Hooked-on-Nicotine Checklist (HONC). Multiple univariate analysis was used to assess the association between adolescent demographics, smoking habits, and loss of autonomy. Three-hundred thirty-nine current smokers responded to the questionnaire (response rate: 82.3%). Of these respondents, 51.2% were male and 88.8% reported at least one LOA symptom. The mean HONC score was 4.13/10 (95% CI: 3.82–4.45). Higher scores were negatively associated with lower smoking frequency (cumulative odds ratio (cOR): 0.240, 95% CI: 0.144–0.400) and positively associated with lower age at first cigarette (cOR: 2.29, 95% CI: 1.38–3.82). Female gender was significantly associated with the prevalence but not the degree of LOA. Overall, the prevalence and the degree of nicotine dependence among adolescent smokers in Greece is similar to other countries. Frequent smoking and initiation of smoking at a younger age are linked to nicotine dependence, although it was not possible to make causal inferences. The relationship between nicotine dependence and gender remains unclear.
