The present study showed higher prevalences of intense alcohol consumption, use of narcotics and daily smoking among early smoking initiators compared to later initiators.
Early initiating current smokers showed higher prevalences of intense alcohol consumption, use of narcotic drugs, at least one disability and poor self-rated health and lower prevalences of both parents working than later initiating current smokers.
Early initiating current smokers showed higher prevalences of intense alcohol consumption, use of narcotic drugs, not easy to talk to parents if problems, not easy to talk to friends if problems, overweight, at least one disability and poor self-rated and lower prevalences of both parents born in Sweden and both parents working than later initiating current smokers.
Early initiating former smokers showed higher prevalences of having both parents born in Sweden, intense alcohol consumption, use of narcotic drugs, not easy to talk to friends if problems, overweight and poor self-rated health and lower prevalences of not easy to talk to parents if problems than later initiating former smokers.
The assessment of pain was based on both the consumption of analgesics (narcotics and non-narcotics) and the patient's own evaluation using a scale graded from 0 (no pain) to 10 (maximum pain necessitating narcotics for relief).

This study also shows that the use of narcotics is negatively associated with HRQoL and this becomes more significant as the duration of narcotics use increases.
It is possible that paracetamol may have led to decreased use of narcotics and that such narcotic sparing effects may have been beneficial.
Pain scores have historically been relatively low using narcotic pain control, and therefore were expected to remain unchanged while the use of narcotics was decreased.
