Self-reported history of intensity of smoking is associated with risk factors for suicide among high school students.

<h4>Objective</h4>To examine the relationship between current cigarette smoking patterns and three established risk factors for suicide using nationally representative data of high school students in the United States.<h4>Methods</h4>We analyzed cross-sectional data from the...
