Answer to Question 1

C
Tobacco abuse is extremely common among persons with bipolar disorder and is among the most dangerous associations, leading to loss of life and increased morbidity. There are only limited data on the frequency with which persons with bipolar disorder are offered smoking cessation counseling and treatment. In a study of psychiatric practice using the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey, Himelhoch and Daumit (2003) report that clients with bipolar disorder were more likely to receive smoking-related counseling than were those with some other disorders.
