Cigarette smoking has been shown to increase consequent to the acute administration of methadone. This suggests the possibility that differences in maintenance dose levels might be associated with differential smoking rates. It is of special concern that higher maintenance levels of methadone may lead to more cigarette smoking because of the putative beneficial effects of higher doses on illicit drug use, treatment retention, and the like. Two experiments were conducted to test the hypothesis that higher maintenance doses of methadone are related to more cigarette smoking. Smoking was measured by self-report and expired carbon monoxide, and the amounts were correlated with subjects' methadone dose levels. The results showed smoking rates of 85% and that self-reported smoking significantly correlated (r = -.52) with CO. Maintenance doses, however, were not correlated with smoking levels. This suggests that the acute effects of methadone on smoking are nullified as clients habituate to dose level, and that decisions regarding appropriate methadone dosage can be made on other grounds.
