reports that her cigarette smoking has increased over the past 2 years and she is<\/p>\n
concerned about the negative e\ufffdects of the cigarette smoking on her health.<\/p>\n

act of gambling that she needs a few drinks to \u201ceven out.\u201d She also notices that when she<\/p>\n
drinks, she doesn\u2019t smoke \u201cas much,\u201d but she enjoys smoking when she is playing at the<\/p>\n
slot machines. She also reports that she has gained weight from drinking so much. She<\/p>\n
currently weights 122 lbs., which represents a 7 lb. weight gain from her usual 115 lb.<\/p>\n
