3Context of smoking
- 5 million deaths worldwide from tobacco
consumption in 2006 (WHO, 2006) - Projected 10 million deaths annually by 2020 with
70 occurring in developing countries - Smoking largest single cause of preventable
illness and premature death in UK - 106,000 people dying of smoking caused diseases
in 2002 (DOH, 2006) - one in five deaths in UK attributable to
smoking. - 10,000 deaths each year in the UK attributable
to passive smoking (Jamrozik, 2005) - RCP (2000) estimated cost in UK in 1997 80
billion
4Smoking and mental disorder
- Smoking significantly associated with increased
prevalence of all psychiatric disorders (Farrell,
2001) - Probability of any mental disorder in smokers
double that in non-dependent individuals (22.4
versus 12.2) - Heavier and more dependent than general
population (McNeill, 2004) - Complex relationship between mental illness and
smoking
5Smoking as a mental disorder
- Nicotine dependence most prevalent, deadly and
most treatable of all psychiatric disorders,
fulfilling the core criteria for mental disorder
-
- a clinically significant behavioural or
psychological syndrome or pattern that occurs in
an individual and that is associated with present
distress or disability or with a significantly
increased risk of suffering death, disability or
an important loss of freedom not merely an
expectable and culturally sanctioned response to
a particular event - Nicotine dependence - chronic illness, typically
persisting for decades once established and with
very low rate of remission 2 annually
6Possible reasons why people with mental health
problems smoke more
- Causative particularly with anxiety disorders
- Deprivation association with cigarette smoking
and mental health problems - Environment
- Higher rates of smoking in people in institutions
cf community - Highest rates in homeless sleeping rough
(Meltzer, 1996) - Psychiatric hospitalization can lead non-smokers
to become smokers (Lawn, 2002) - Result of distress
- Those in greater distress - greater
difficulty stopping behaviour providing rapid and
reliable rewards despite harmful long-term
effects of these behaviours - Reinforcement of smoking behaviour
- Related to lax smoking policies
- Media vulnerability
- People with mental health problems may be
more vulnerable to misleading messages about
tobacco promoted by the tobacco industry (Boyd
and Lasser, 2001). - Interaction between nicotine dependence and
symptoms
7Smoking more deadly than suicide
- 1 in 2 smokers in general population die 15 years
early and 1 in 4 smokers die 23 years early
(Doll, 2004) - Heavy passive smoking associated with 50-60
increased risk of coronary heart disease (Whincup
et al, 2004) - 86,500 deaths from smoking in England compared
with - But smoking frequently overlooked by mental
health professionals despite much greater levels
of smoking.
8Consequence of more smoking in psychiatric
patients
- Patients with schizophrenia 20 reduced life
expectancy - compared with the general population
(Hennekens et al, 2005) - Substantially greater risk of premature death
- smoking related diseases compared to general
population (McNeill, 2004) - 10x death rate from respiratory disease (McNeill,
2001) - most of the cause of excess natural mortality of
community mental health populations (Brown et al,
2000) - Death toll from smoking among those with mental
health problems - far outweighs the 10 lifetime risk of suicide
- both risks are susceptible to treatment
intervention - only suicide reduction has been identified as a
health gain target.
9Smoking and depression
- Higher rates of smoking
- twice as likely to smoke compared with no
neurotic disorder. - More depression/suicide
- clear relationship between degree of smoking/
nicotine dependence and number of neurotic
symptoms (Coultard, 2000) - smokers within non-clinical population more
depressed and anxious (Gilbert, 1995) - higher rates of depression
- experience more severe depression
- more suicidal ideation/ higher suicide rates
(Wilhelm, 2004) - History of depression associated with
- depression after cessation (Wilhelm, 2004)
- no increase in smoking cessation failure (Hitsman
et al, 2003). -
10Nicotine and anxiety
- Increased anxiety among smokers in general
population studies (Coultard, 2000) - Smoking increases risk of certain anxiety
disorders - during late adolescence and early adulthood
(Johnson 2000) - Increased risk of first panic attack
- increased risk of first occurrence of panic
attack (Breslau et al, 1999) with reduced risk of
panic disorder after smoking cessation - Link between anxiety and starting smoking
- Generalised anxiety/ social anxiety predict
uptake of smoking (Sonntag et al, 2000 - Smoking associated with mood lability
- leading to heightened feelings of stress/
depression in many smokers (Parrott, 2006).
11Smoking and psychosis
- Higher rates of smoking (Jochelson et al, 2006)
- 70 smoking rates
- in those with schizophrenia or affective
psychosis in survey of psychiatric institutions
(Meltzer 1996) - 64 smoking rates
- in those with probable psychosis were
smokers compared with 29 without psychosis
(Coultard 2000) - Majority wanted to stop (Jochelson et al, 2006)
-
- Tax revenue reflecting financial burden
- People with schizophrenia generated 139m in
tax revenue a year (McCreadie 2000)
12Smoking and schizophrenia
- Heavy smoking associated with
- more severe psychotic and schizophrenic illness
- poorer outcomes
- more frequent hospital admissions (Aguilar et al,
2005 Corvin et al, 2001) - typical vs atypical antipsychotic medication
(Barnes et al, 2006) - smoking not associated with positive, negative
cognitive and mood symptoms in schizophrenia
(Barnes et al 2006) . - Smoking to self-medicate symptoms of illness/
side effects - smoking stimulates dopamine (Le Houezec, 1998)
- smoking reduces level of medication
- Greater reinforcement of nicotine in those with
schizophrenia - nicotine more reinforcing in schizophrenia since
stimulates subcortical reward system and
prefrontal cortex - both areas hypofunctional in schizophrenia
(Chambers et al, 2001) - ability to trigger dopamine release in mesolimbic
reward centres might mean - smoking one of few possible reinforcers to
overcome anhedonia of schizophrenia and
depression (Watkins et al, 2000)
13Interactions between nicotine and medication
- Induction of liver enzyme P450-1A2 (CYP1A2) by
smoking - responsible for activation of some
pro-carcinogens and for metabolizing many drugs - Smokers prescribed higher doses of antipsychotic
medication - increased metabolism of antidepressant and
antipsychotic medication - Diazepam, haloperidol (partial), olanzapine
(partial), clozapine, mirtazapine (partial),
tricyclics (Bazire, 2004) - reduction in plasma levels of up to 50 (Ziedonis
et al 1994 Wilhelm, 2004) - Development of toxicity after cessation
- smokers stable on any drug metabolised by CYP1A2
- cessation can cause toxic levels of drug in their
blood over a matter of days as less drug
metabolised (Zullino et al, 2002) - Reduction in antipsychotic drug may be needed
- f stopping smoking (Hughes, 1993)
- If starts smoking, previous therapeutic plasma
levels of drugs can drop as enzyme induction
occurs and therefore require increased medication - Smoking as a clinical issue
- Need for close monitoring of attempts to
stop smoking and this being addressed as a
clinical issue
14Smoking cessation and those with mental illness
- Smoking is a recognised drug dependence
- But dirty syringe equivalent, most deadly form of
nicotine delivery - Smokers with mental health problems want to quit
- From surveys in the UK, around half of
smokers with mental health problems have
expressed a desire to quit (Jochelson et al,
2006) - Health benefits of cessation
- Stopping smoking at the age of 50 halves
the risk while stopping at the age of 30 avoided
almost all of it (Doll, 2004) -
- But smoking frequently overlooked by mental
health professionals - mental health patients less likely to be offered
health promotion intervention such as smoking
cessation. - Consistent with reports of poor physical health
of mental health patients.
15Effect of smoking cessation on mental health
- Anxiety reduction or withdrawal relief?
- Although smokers report that smoking calming
them, reflects relief of withdrawal symptoms such
as restlessness and irritability - Smoking chronically anxiogenic rather than
anxiolytic - Increased anxiety among smokers in general
population studies. - Anxiety decreases following first week of
abstinence (West et al, 1997) - Ex-smokers fewer neurotic disorders than current
smokers (Haukkala et al 2000) - Perceived stress levels reduce on stopping
smoking and increase again following relapse to
smoking (Cohen and Lichtenstein 1990) - depression after cessation (Wilhelm, 2004)
- Psychological problems decline after cessation
- significantly in smokers who stopped smoking
for 6 months (Mino et al, 2000) - Smoking cessation does not exacerbate psychotic
illness No clear evidence (Smith, 1999)
16Treatment for smoking cessation
- Harm reduction
- Nicotine replacement therapies least harmful
nicotine delivery systems available - Cost effective intervention
- Effect of NRT on symptoms
- NRT reduces total withdrawal discomfort,
irritability and anxiety with some evidence for
an effect on depressed mood and craving (West and
Shiffman, 2001). - Bupropion effective for smoking cessation
- in those with major depression, alcoholism
(Hayford et al, 1999) and schizophrenia (Evins et
al, 2005) - Application of interventions to mental health
- Smoking cessation interventions used in the
general population can be implemented in
psychiatric outpatient settings (Hall et al,
2006).
17Other treatments for smoking cessation
- Longer term
- Bupropion/ relapse prevention extended use of
bupropion for relapse prevention effective for
smokers with/ without major depression (Cox et
al, 2004). - Bupropion and nortriptyline aid long term smoking
cessation - Assist with dysphoria during withdrawal and
prevent relapse - but selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors do
not (Hughes et al, 2004) - Psychological/ lifestyle/ group
- Psychological and lifestyle strategies e.g.
motivational interviewing, relaxation exercises
and mood charts, assist in mood regulation - Staged care interventions for depressed
- Cognitive-behavioural treatment tailored
- Specialised group therapy programmes and (NRT)
have been shown to be effective in people with a
diagnosis of schizophrenia
18Barriers to smoke-free settings
- Concern about increased aggression
- Common concern of staff although no increase
found and fewer adverse effects than staff
anticipated - Concern about deterioration in mental health
- No clear evidence for smoking cessation
exacerbates psychotic illness (Smith, 1999) - or that it causes depression or anxiety
- No-smoking policy in psychiatric clinics, even
when this leads to withdrawal symptoms has no
negative effect on mental illness (Haunstein et
al, 2002) - Smoking culture
- 54 of staff believed smoking with patients
created therapeutic relationships (Stubbs 2004).
- Majority of staff did not favour a smoking ban
- High levels of smoking among psychiatric nursing
staff (DOH Consultation, 2005) - Staff more difficulty with total bans since
smoked during breaks (Hempel et al, 2002) - Smoking appears to be currently tolerated and
accepted for those with mental illness - Lack of smoking cessation support for staff
- (NIMHE review in South West, 2005)
19Smoke-free policy works in mental health settings
- Simple, consistent policy more effective
- Simple smoking policies
- applied in consistent way to all patients in
inpatient psychiatric settings - more effective than selective or gradually
introduced bans (Lawn and Pols, 2002) - partial smoking bans ineffective (Leavell et al,
2006) - Need for consistency and planning
- Success of smoking bans in psychiatric units
depends upon - consistent approach across management and
clinical staff - education of staff and patients about impending
ban (Lawn and Pols, 2002) - No increase in patient aggression
- in 75 per cent of all study sites regardless of
the type of ban - in 90 per cent of sites imposing a total ban
(Lawn and Pols, 2002 El-Guebaly et al, 2002). - No effect on mental illness (Haunstein et al,
2002) -
20Proposal to exempt MH units from smoke-free
legislation
- For mental health units, the Department of Health
proposed that - any exemption from smoke-free legislation
will be limited to premises that provide
long-term accommodation. - Long-term in relation to residential
accommodation in a mental health unit defined as
accommodation occupied for more than 6 months. - Other proposed exemptions are care homes and
prisons
21Six month cut off
- Why six months?
- Half inpatient for more than 6 months
- 46 of psychiatric inpatients in 2006 were
inpatients for longer than 6 months (Mental
Health Act Commission, 2006) - large proportion of mental health settings would
be exempt - Difficulty for staff
- Create great difficulty with enforcement by
staff who would have to apply different
principles to different patient groups -
- Arbitrary
- Proposal to exempt those units where
patients remain for more than six months appears
arbitrary. -
22Partial exemption and health inequality
- Smoking causes inequality
- Smoking responsible for half the
difference in survival to 70 years of age between
social class I and V (Wanless, 2004) - Mental illness and inequality
- those with mental illness experience
health inequality 10 year lower life expectancy - Higher rates of smoking exacerbate health
inequality - already experienced by those with mental
illness - Inequality reduction
- effective smoke-free policy will significantly
improve health in populations with
disproportionate levels of inequality - Smoke-free policy key part in addressing physical
health needs of those with mental health problems
which are worse in part due to higher levels of
smoking. - Exemption would worsen health inequality
- for people with mental health problems compared
to other groups included in the Health Act - thereby discriminate against them on account of
their illness -
23Reasons for not going smoke-free?
- Unnecessarily cruel
- Unfair since cannot leave and smoke as others can
- Human rights especially those detained under the
mental health Act
24Human Rights Perspective
- Health of others
- Human Rights Act only individual freedom to act
when their actions not endangering others - Equal need to protect the human rights of
non-smoking staff and patients. - Health of others already legally protected
- Rights of non-smoking staff and patients
protected by Health and Safety at Work Act - Employers have legal duty to protect both
patients and staff from tobacco smoke. - Discrimination of rights of those with mental
illness - Rights of those with mental illness will be
discriminated against under the Disability
Discrimination Act if less access to smoke-free
environments and treatments compared to rest of
NHS and public places under the Health Act - Services risk a stigmatising presumption that
psychiatric patients unable to stop smoking. - Alcohol/drug rules on wards not a human rights
breach - Mental Health patients not allowed to drink
alcohol or use illicit drugs in mental health
units - Not argued as a breach of their human rights.
25Other arguments
- Their place of residence. Countered by legal
requirement to protect non-smoking staff and
patients under the Health and Safety at Work Act - Patients will refuse to be admitted
26Benefits of smoke-free mental health services
- Inequality reduction
- those with mental illness experience
disproportionate levels of health inequality - Smoking cessation could reduce this inequality.
- Improved physical health and life expectancy
- Improved well-being
- Smokers in non-clinical population more
depressed/ anxious than non-smokers (Gilbert,
1995). - Psychological problems decreased in smokers who
stopped for 6 months (Mino, 2000). - Anxiety reduces in first week of abstinence
(West, 1997). - Patients experienced increased sense of self
esteem/ mastery following ban (Cooke, 1991) - Protection of non-smoking staff and patients
- Part of comprehensive health promotion strategy
- Smoke-free services would help address this area.
- Part of addressing wider health promotion agenda
including nutrition, physical activity
27Part of a health promoting environment
- Smoking affects psychiatric treatment by
- negatively influencing well-being and psychiatric
symptoms - increasing the doses of required medication
- causing physical ill-health
- Smoking is a chronic illness
- by considering smoking as a chronic illness in
all mental health settings, more active
intervention in health settings would be offered - Smoke-free environments would include
- the provision of help with nicotine withdrawal
- monitoring of medication after smoking cessation
- prevention of weight gain through encouraging
healthy diet and activity. - long- term strategies, combination of medication
with psychosocial interventions, and integration
into the overall patient management with the aim
relapse prevention - Introducing a comprehensive smoke-free policy
- significantly improve health and well-being in
populations with disproportionate levels of
inequality - therefore play key part in addressing physical
health needs of those with mental health
problems.
28Conclusions 1
- Smoking is largest single cause of preventable
illness in the UK - Mentally unwell smoke significantly more and
therefore at greater risk - Psychiatric treatment affected by
- negatively influencing well-being and psychiatric
symptoms - increasing the doses of required medication
- significantly causing physical ill-health
- Half of smokers with mental illness want help to
give up - but less likely to receive help
- Smoking cessation treatment is effective
- Smoking anxiogenic not anxiolytic
- Improved mental health after cessation
29Conclusions 2
- Comprehensive smoke-free policies are successful
- Initial introduction in flexible and pragmatic
way - supported by greatly increased accessibility to
advice and support in stopping smoking - then progressing to a smoke-free policy without
exemption. - No evidence for increased aggression or
deterioration of mental health after introduction
of smoke-free policy in mental health settings - Improved health and well-being
- in populations with introduction of
effective smoke-free policy - Addressing inequality
- Smoke-free policy key part in addressing
disproportionate levels of inequality and
physical health needs of those with mental health
problems. - Exempting mental health units from smoke-free
laws would worsen existing health inequalities
for people with mental health problems
