Sadness is associated with reward-seeking tendencies to mitigate loss [56], which can result in increased hedonically pleasing, but often unhealthy, appetitive behavior [57], including smoking [55]. Thus, when current or former smokers feel sad, they may turn to cigarettes in an attempt to improve their mood.
