Objectives：This study investigated the independent risk of hostility and impulsivity of smokers in military populations, and
examined risk differences among non -smokers, light smokers and heavy smokers.
Subjects and Methods：A total of 550 airmen participated in this study. They completed questionnaires including demographic data, a smoking history, the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI),
the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT), Dysfunctional Impulsivity Scale (DIS), Buss &Durkee Hostility
Inventory (BDHI), Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND), and the Nicotine Dependence Syndrome Scale (KNDSS).
Results：All of the subjects were male；550 individuals, with a mean age of 21.0±1.1. Most of them were single；512
people, 99.6%. 29.5% or 160 of the subjects were smokers. Demographics and smoking-related characteristics of non-smoker and smoker were similar. The mean differences of STAI (F= 3.379, P<0.05), DIS (F=8.186, P<0.001), and BDHI (F=10.332, P<0.001) between light smokers and heavy smokers were higher than that between non-smokers and light smokers. We found significant correlations between FTND and BDHI (r=0.208, P<0.05), initiation (r=-0.260, P<0.01), duration (r=0.206, P<0.05) and amount (r=0.546, P<0.001) among s-mokers. NDSS is related to BDHI (r=0.198, P<0.05), initiation (r=
-0.280, P<0.001), duration (r=0.259, P<0.01) and amo-unt (r=0.421, P<0.001).
Conclusion：In this study, we found that there is a significant correlation between hostility and smoking status and nicotine dependence scales. Impulsivity has no relation with nicotine dependence scales, but was related to smoking status.
