Nicotine Dependence among Persons Who Received Substance Use Treatment

The NSDUH Report - Nicotine Dependence among Persons Who Received Substance Use Treatment

From 2005 to 2009, more than 2.4 million persons per year (1.0 percent of those aged 12 or older) received treatment for an alcohol or illicit drug use problem at a specialty facility in the past year. Of these, 56.3 percent met the criteria for nicotine dependence from cigarette smoking in the past month. Males and females who received substance use treatment at a specialty facility in the past year were equally likely to be nicotine dependent in the past month. Among persons who received substance use treatment, the rate of past month nicotine dependence was lower among youths aged 12 to 17 (46.9 percent) than among those aged 18 to 25 (57.2 percent) and those aged 26 or older (56.9 percent).
