2 Extent of the Problem Many people with Severe Mental Illness (SMI) use smoking to manage symptoms, stress, or increase social contact and consume nearly half of all tobacco sold in the United States. Compared with the general population, individuals with SMI are at greater risk of co-morbid health problems and premature death. Often individuals with SMI are unaware that services like Quitlines, Nicotine Anonymous (NIC-A) meetings, and/or NRT exist.
