Summary
Smokers report that they often smoke cigarettes during stressful times. The combined effect
of smoking and exposure to stress leads to exaggerated increases in blood pressure, heart
rate and other measures of stress response. This combination may result in greater
cardiovascular harm than either smoking or stress alone. The purpose of this study is to
determine the effects of paroxetine on the response to stress after smoking.
