✦ Synopsis

Time estimation was measured in 33 heavy smokers, 34 non-smokers and 23 ex-smokers over two experimental sessions. All smokers abstained from smoking for 30 min prior to each session. Half of the smokers smoked a cigarette prior to time estimation measurement in the ®rst session, whereas the remaining smokers smoked in the second one. Non-smokers and ex-smokers did not smoke. Results combined across the two sessions indicated no dierences between smoking versus non-smoking conditions. However, a speci®c pattern of responses appeared in each experimental session. Separate analyses of results from each session revealed that, in the ®rst session, smokers that smoked overestimated time in comparison with abstinent smokers, non-smokers and ex-smokers. In contrast, results of the second session showed no signi®cant eects of smoking or abstinence. These results indicate that the eects of nicotine on time perception can be in¯uenced by the repetition of the task and by the experimental situation. Data suggest that there may exist an interaction between the order of treatment (smoking versus nonsmoking) and time estimation.
