Data collection was performed through an online survey platform to ensure accessibility and broad participation. The survey was distributed via digital platforms, social media networks, and email lists to reach a diverse adult population across T\u00fcrkiye. Demographic characteristics, clinical variables, and tobacco product use status were recorded. Central sensitization was assessed using the CSI. Multiple linear and logistic regression analyses were performed to identify predictors of CSI scores.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>\n                    Of a total of 380 participants, 131 were male and 249 were female with a mean age of 41.21 \u00b1 11.40 (range, 18 to 65) years. Tobacco users had significantly higher CSI total scores compared to non-users (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 0.029). A higher proportion of individuals with a CSI score \u2265 40 was observed among tobacco users (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    = 0.003). In the multiple linear regression model, age (\u03b2 = \u22120.295), female sex (\u03b2 = 6.255), chronic disease status (\u03b2 = 4.524), chronic pain (\u03b2 = 12.093), and tobacco use (\u03b2 = 6.538) were independent predictors (\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; 0.001). Logistic regression analysis indicated a significant association between tobacco use and the likelihood of having a CSI score \u2265 40 (odds ratio [OR] = 0.488, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.302-0.789).\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold>\n                    Tobacco use is positively associated with higher CS symptom severity. Given the cross-sectional design, these findings reflect a correlation rather than direct causality.
