Adults with mental illness, including substance use disorder (SUD,) are at risk of dying 25 years earlier than the general population. The major contributor to this premature mortality is smoking-related disease. While cigarette smoking has trended downward in recent years, it is still highly prevalent in adults with mental health and/or substance use disorder (MH/SUD).
Mental health issues can lead people to develop a substance use problem; living with a substance use problem can cause or exacerbate a mental health problem. Mental health can be a significant cause and complication to problem substance use and affects people in midst of crisis and in recovery.
