Higher rates of tobacco and cannabis smoking have been observed among people with chronic pain. The reciprocal model of pain and smoking suggests that a positive feedback loop underlies the relationship between pain and smoking, with pain motivating smoking (as a means of coping) and smoking exacerbating painful conditions with chronic use. Despite initial evidence of differential effects by age in pain-motivated smoking, no research has examined age by smoking interactions among both tobacco and cannabis users. Results suggest smoking was related to greater likelihood of having pain, and that this effect was moderated by age group.
