Cigarette smoking associated with relapse of cannabis use disorder: study

A new study has linked tobacco consumption via cigarettes with both increased onset and relapse of cannabis use disorder (CUD). Published in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, the study explored the relationship between cannabis consumption and “cigarette smoking initiation, persistence and relapse” in U.S. adults. The results suggested a link between cigarette consumption during Wave 1 and the onset of CUD in Wave 2. This finding related to subjects who had not reported cannabis consumption during Wave 1, but, interestingly, not among those who had reported cannabis use during that period.
