title: Stress and tobacco addiction.
abstract: Primary care providers are confronted on a daily basis with persons who are addicted to tobacco. Research studies have demonstrated an association between substance use and stress and coping. This paper discusses macro- and micro-level perspectives of stress that need to be considered in the management of tobacco addition. Lazarus's stress and coping paradigm is emphasized as a useful framework for managing addicted clients.
