TL;DR
Current cigarette smokers are at greater risk for sleep-disordered breathing than are never smokers, and smoking cessation should be considered in the treatment and prevention of sleep- Disordered breathing.
Abstract
Current cigarette smokers are at greater risk for sleep-disordered breathing than are never smokers. Heavy smokers have the greatest risk while former smokers are not at increased risk for sleep-disordered breathing. Thus, smoking cessation should be considered in the treatment and prevention of sleep-disordered breathing.

New England Journal of MedicineThe Occurrence of Sleep-Disordered Breathing among Middle-Aged Adults
10,226 Citations1993Terry Young, Mari Palta +4 more
The prevalence of undiagnosed sleep-disordered breathing is high among men and is much higher than previously suspected among women, and is associated with daytime hypersomnolence.
Archives of General PsychiatrySigns and Symptoms of Tobacco Withdrawal
1,646 Citations1986John R. Hughes
Observer and subject ratings of the DSM-III symptoms of craving for tobacco, irritability, anxiety, difficulty concentrating, and restlessness increased after cessation, and bradycardia, impatience, somatic complaints, insomnia, increased hunger, and increased eating occurred after cessation.

1,510 Citations1988Jiang He, Meir H. Kryger +3 more
It is concluded that OSA patients with an apnea index of greater than 20 have a greater mortality than those below 20 and that UPPP patients be restudied after therapy and if the latter patients are found not to have marked amelioration of their AI, then they should be treated by nasal CPAP or tracheostomy.
The LancetAssociation of sleep apnoea with myocardial infarction in men
905 Citations1990Joseph Hung, EricG. Whitford +2 more
To examine the hypothesis that sleep apnoea is a risk factor for ischaemic heart disease, overnight polysomnography was performed in 101 unselected male survivors of acute myocardial infarction aged less than 66 yr and in 53 male subjects of similar age without evidence of ischaemia heart disease.
Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery & PsychiatryAlcohol, snoring and sleep apnea.
403 Citations1982Fuad Issa, Colin E. Sullivan
It is suggested that the increased tendency to develop obstructive apnoea after alcohol is the result of alcohol-induced oropharyngeal muscle hypotonia, while the increased duration of obstructive sleep apnea is the results ofalcohol-induced depression of arousal mechanisms.

385 Citations1992Lynne E. Wagenknecht, Gregory L. Burke +3 more
Misclassification of cigarette smoking by self-report was low in these young adults; however, within certain race/education groups, self- report may underestimate smoking prevalence by up to 4%.
SLEEPNeuropsychological Dysfunction in Sleep Apnea
305 Citations1987Glen D. Greenberg, Robert Watson +1 more
Within the sleep apnea group, hypoxemia severity was significantly correlated with deficits on measures of motor and perceptual-organizational ability and the overall level of performance reflected only moderate impairment.
Clinical Pharmacology & TherapeuticsCircadian blood nicotine concentrations during cigarette smoking
291 Citations1982Neal L. Benowitz, Florence Kuyt +1 more
Neither number of cigarettes smoked nor smoking‐machine delivery predict daily nicotine exposure very well, and results confirm observations by others that levels of nicotine in the body vary widely among individuals even when smoking the same number of identical cigarettes.
The American Journal of MedicineAlcohol increases sleep apnea and oxygen desaturation in asymptomatic men
278 Citations1981White Carole, Sherry Lindsey +4 more
Values obtained during sleep on the control night after alcohol ingestion showed that the episodes of arterial oxygen desaturation remained statistically increased over control values before the ingestion of any alcohol (p = 0.01), and that the increase in arterialoxy desaturation persists for an additional night, even when no alcohol is consumed.
PubMedDepression as a manifestation of obstructive sleep apnea: reversal with nasal continuous positive airway pressure.
219 Citations1989Richard P. Millman, Barry S. Fogel +2 more
It is concluded that obstructive sleep apnea can produce prominent symptoms of depression that appear to be related to the severity of the underlying apnea; furthermore, treatment of obstructivesleep apnea may result in alleviation of these symptoms in certain patients.
CHEST JournalRisk Factors in a General Population for Snoring
212 Citations1988John W. Bloom, Walter T. Kaltenborn +1 more
It is proposed that the effect of smoking may be related to the production of upper airway inflammation and edema by cigarette smoke, and that smoking cessation may eventually reduce snoring risk.
PubMedDepressive psychopathology in male sleep apneics.
139 Citations1984Reynolds Cf, Kupfer Dj +4 more
A multiple regression analysis indicated that 61% of the variance in depression ratings could be explained by four variables: age, REM activity, REM latency (square root), and presence or absence of antihypertensive medications.
Journal of Chronic DiseasesSevere obstructive sleep apnea—I: Onset, clinical course, and characteristics
130 Citations1985Anthony Kales, Roger J. Cadieux +5 more
The clinical course and characteristics of severe obstructive sleep apnea are described for 50 adults whose condition warranted recommendation for tracheostomy and all patients had a history of snoring, excessive daytime sleepiness and sleep attacks, nocturnal snorting and gasping sounds and observer-noted noCTurnal breath cessations.
CHEST JournalNicotine: A Different Approach to Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea
117 Citations1985Barbara Gothe, Kingman P. Strohl +2 more
It was concluded that nicotine reduces apneas during the early hours of sleep, and this effect may be caused by its stimulating action on upper airway muscles.
Journal of Applied PhysiologyCorrelation between oscillations in ventilation and frequency content of the electroencephalogram
63 Citations1992Allan I Pack, Michael Cola +3 more
These data are compatible with the hypothesis that the initiation of apnea in stage 1/2 sleep is related to a reduction in the state-dependent input to the ventilatory control system, and are synchronous within the time resolution of the methodology.
Respiration PhysiologyAction of nicotine on the respiratory activity of the diaphragm and genioglossus muscles and the nerves that innervate them
48 Citations1984Musa A. Haxhiu, Erik van Lunteren +5 more
Results indicate that nicotine increases hypoglossal nerve activity by both its peripheral and central effects; nicotine has differential effects on different respiratory muscles and nerves; and the central action of nicotine may be mediated largely through receptors located near the ventral medullary surface.
Journal of Studies on AlcoholRelationship of alcohol abuse history to nighttime hypoxemia in abstaining chronic alcoholic men.
14 Citations1990Michael V. Vitiello, Patricia N. Prinz +4 more
Findings indicate that chronic alcohol abuse may predispose an individual to nighttime hypoxemia and be a risk factor for sleep apnea.
