Study lead author Dr. Solja Niemela, a psychiatrist at Turku University, speculated that substance abuse may be a &#8220;social phenomenon,&#8221; and those who are shy and withdrawn may be less likely to experiment with cigarettes.<\/p>\n\n<p>The opposite seemed to be true of boys who showed signs of hyperactivity: They were 20 to 30 percent more likely to smoke regularly than other boys. The findings are similar to those from a Duke University study released last year that found children with signs of attention-deficit\/hyperactivity disorder were more likely to smoke as young adults.<\/p>\n\n<p>Dr. David W. Goodman, assistant professor at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and director of the Adult Attention Deficit Disorder Center of Maryland, called the study findings &#8220;exciting.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p>&#8220;We\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"xndhflinfqvaahq\"><\/span>\n\n want to identify childhood conditions that leave the child at risk for developing subsequent damaging behavior,&#8221; Goodman said.

Nicotine can reduce anxiety and improve cognition a bit, Goodman said, potentially reducing symptoms of depression. In other words, smoking can be a case of self-medicating, he said.<\/p>\n\n<p>More information<\/p>\n\n<p>For more on ADHD, visit the National Institute of Mental Health.<\/p>\n\t  <\/div>\n\t  \n\t\t<div class=\"clr\"><\/div>\n\n\t  \n\t\t\n\t  <!-- Plugins: AfterDisplayContent -->\n\t  \n\t  <!-- K2 Plugins: K2AfterDisplayContent -->\n\t  \n\t  <div class=\"clr\"><\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n\t\n  \n  \n  \n\t\t\t\n  \n\t<div class=\"clr\"><\/div>\n\n  \n  \n  \n  <!-- Plugins: AfterDisplay -->\n  \n  <!-- K2 Plugins: K2AfterDisplay -->\n  \n  \n \n\t\t<div class=\"itemBackToTop\">\n\t\t<a class=\"k2Anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/healthdailyusa.com\/index.php?page_id=1380#startOfPageId1578\">\n\t\t\tback to top\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div class=\"clr\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- End K2 Item Layout -->\n\n<!-- JoomlaWorks \"K2\" (v2.5.4) | Learn more about K2 at http:\/\/getk2.org -->\n\n\n              \n                <div class=\"artBanner\">  \n            <div class=\"carouselbanner\">\n                <div id=\"wrap\">\n                    <ul id=\"mycarousel90\" class=\"jcarousel-skin-tango\">\n                        <li>\n                                                            <!-- Conversant Media 160x600 WIDE SKYSCRAPER CODE for AdRx - PD ROH -->\n                                \n                                \n                                \n                                <!-- Conversant Media 160x600 WIDE SKYSCRAPER CODE for AdRx - PD ROH -->\n                                                   \n                      <\/li>\n                    <\/ul>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>      \n          <\/div>\n        <div class=\"clr\"><\/div>    \n    \n       <div id=\"bottombar\">\n        <div class=\"panel\" style=\"float:none !important\">\n            <div class=\"bannergroup\">\n                <div class=\"banneritem\">\n                                        \t<!-- Conversant Media 300x250 Medium Rectangle CODE for AdRx - PD ROH -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n                        \n                        \n                        <!-- Conversant Media 300x250 Medium Rectangle CODE for AdRx - PD ROH -->\n                                           \n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>                   \n        <div class=\"panel\" style=\"height:600px !important;margin-top:10px\">\n            <div class=\"bannergroup\">\n              <div class=\"banneritem\"> \n                                                               \n                                 \n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n        \n                     \n  <\/div>  \n  <div id=\"footer\">\n    <div class=\"copyright\">\t\n\n<div class=\"custom\">\n\t<p>\n\tCopyright \u00a9 2012 Healthdailyusa.com.
