Abstract

Background: Relationships between mindfulness and general craving have been documented. However, there is still no data regarding relationships between mindfulness and the different craving factors.

Methods: Using data from an online survey among hospital workers smoking tobacco in France (n = 127), we performed linear regression models with the four craving factors as outcomes, and dispositional mindfulness as explanatory variable.

Results: After adjusting for nicotine dependence, mindfulness was negatively associated with general craving and three out of four craving factors (emotionality, compulsivity and purposefulness, but not expectancy).

Conclusions: These results support the implementation of mindfulness-based interventions in the context of tobacco cessation attempt.

Keywords: Mindfulness; craving; tobacco.
