2014, Neuroscience and Biobehavioral ReviewsCitation Excerpt :The initial smoking experience can include both positive and negative experiences. Positive qualities accompanying the experience include a sense of relaxation and a rush or ‘buzz’, while sensations such as coughing, nausea, and light-headedness are typically perceived as negative sensations (Friedman et al., 1985; Hirschman et al., 1984). Individuals experiencing an initial pleasant smoking experience are more likely to repeat drug use.
Sex differences in smoking initiation among children and adolescents
2013, Public HealthCitation Excerpt :Studies have shown that sensory experiences during smoking initiation may be predictive of persistence in smoking.14–16 However, the experiences of initial smoking may be dependent upon the context of initiation, which involves issues such as the person with whom smoking was first initiated, the place where smoking first occurred, and the reasons why individuals began smoking.17 More importantly, there may be salient differences in the contexts of initiation between boys and girls which foster progression to regular tobacco use.18

2009, Addictive BehaviorsCitation Excerpt :The reasons for these differences remain to be adequately explained. A growing body of literature suggests that initial experiences with nicotine, by activating a series of biochemical events in the reward and craving areas of the brain (Littleton, 2001; Quick & Lester, 2002) may be critical in determining whether or not an individual goes on to become a smoker (Chen et al., 2003; DiFranza et al., 2004; DiFranza, & Wellman, 2005; Friedman, Lichtenstein, & Biglan, 1985; Gurling, Grant, & Dangl, 1985; Poulos, & Cappell 1991; Pomerleau, Pomerleau, Namenek and Marks, 1999; Pomerleau, Pomerleau, & Namenek, 1998; Pomerleau, Pomerleau, Mehringer, Snedecor, & Cameron, 2005). Although those who persist in smoking may experience unpleasant as well as pleasant sensations upon smoking their first cigarette, they may be constitutionally more sensitive to the reinforcing and/or rewarding effects of nicotine (Pomerleau, Collins, Shiffman, & Pomerleau, 1993) and possibly more susceptible to the development of tolerance, leading to greater self-administration (Pomerleau, 1995).
