Such a bias may protect individuals from harm. Consistent with this idea, lower LA has been measured in individuals who endorse current cigarette smoking as well as other substance use compared to controls matched on important sociodemographic variables (age, gender, and educational attainment). The goal of the present study was to systematically replicate and extend this association between LA and smoking status by comparing those meeting criteria for current-, former-, and never-smoking status.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Aims and Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>In total, 984 individuals (N = 984) that endorsed current cigarette smoking (past 30-day use; n = 361), former-smoking (no past 30-day use, &amp;gt;100 cigarettes lifetime; n = 317), and never-smoking (no past 30-day use, &amp;lt;100 cigarettes lifetime; n = 306) were recruited using standard crowdsourcing methods and completed measures of LA (50\u201350 gambles) and delay discounting (DD) (monetary choice questionnaire), an important decision-making bias with an established relationship to cigarette-smoking status.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Lower LA was observed in those endorsing current smoking compared to former smoking (t[952] = \u22129.57, Bonferroni corrected p &amp;lt; .0001), and never-smoking (t[952] = \u22123.99, Bonferroni corrected p = .0002).
