QUOTE: " Myth: Smoking cessation will impede successful alcohol use outcomes.
• The majority of research indicates that smoking cessation is unlikely
to compromise alcohol use outcomes (cf. Fogg and Borody 2001).
• Participation in smoking cessation efforts while engaged in other
substance abuse treatment has been associated with a 25 percent
greater likelihood of long-term abstinence from alcohol and other
drugs (Prochaska et al. 2004).
• Data indirectly suggest that continued smoking increases the risk of
alcohol relapse among alcohol-dependent smokers (Taylor et al. 2000). "
