The way drinkers smoked differed by risk of alcohol dependence in several ways. Firstly, past-year smokers who were at risk of alcohol dependence had higher levels of cigarette dependence as indicated by cigarettes smoked per day (a mean of 14, three more than drinkers not at risk) and time to first cigarette (more likely than those not at risk to report smoking within 5 minutes of waking up). Secondly, roll your own cigarettes were especially common among those at risk of alcohol dependence, with nearly two-thirds of past-year smokers reporting using them.
