The Journal of Pain, 07/24/09
Krebs EE et al. – This longitudinal study of patients with disc herniation or spinal stenosis found that nonsurgical treatment and smoking predicted long–term self–reported opioid use.

The relationship between opioid use, smoking, and other substance use deserves further study.
