Content Reflection “You see a strong association between your drug of choice and tobacco use.” Feeling Reflection “You get anxious when you run out of cigarettes.” Meaning Reflection
Simple, Amplified and Double-Sided Reflection
“I always need to smoke a cigarette when I’m getting high. I go through a
whole pack when drinking or drugging and totally panic when I’m down to my
last cigarette or run out.”
“So it sounds like you’re powerless over tobacco.”
Sample Dialogue 1
Does anyone like smoking cigarettes while high on heroin?
I LOVE smoking them on other drugs to boost the high and it works tremendously, such as Ecstasy, Weed, Alcohol, and Caffeine. I tried smoking one while nodding out on black tar heroin however, and I've never been so nauseous in my entire life. I threw up and still felt like throwing up so badly after that. I got SOO hot and sweaty and so dizzy. I couldn’t move without getting so sick. Ironically, this is actually the first time I’ve gotten nausea on an opiate. I felt sooo terrible...just laid there for about 20-30 minutes and then felt good again.

Sample Dialogue 2
I used to always smoke cigs after a fat shot of dope.
I’m on suboxone right now and I love to smoke cigs on suboxone, but they do occassionaly make me throw up or feel really nauseous, so I can relate to you. But most of the time, smoking cigs on suboxone feels amazing. When I was doing H everyday 6 months ago I would LOVE smoking cigs on dope.

Sample Dialogue 3
Why do cigarettes give SWIM the nods big time... SWIM has burnt many a hole in trousers/chairs etc when smoking a cigarette on H
Most junkies seem to smoke cigarettes! It must be the heroin that's making people nod off/ 'gouch' out. SWIM is very right to point out the dangers of burning whilst smoking and taking heroin
SWIM used to chain smoke on heroin, it seemed to enhance the buzz for her and she frequently nodded out while smoking too (only when she was lying down though). After a few hours though SWIM would be sick and she is pretty sure that was a result of too many cigarettes rather than too much heroin…

Sample Dialogue 4
SWIM always craves a cigarette right after a shot, and if he doesn't
have any, he usually just keeps taking more shots, rather than
smoking more cigarettes like he would normally.
From SWIMs experiences, the first cigarette after doing dope does
strengthen the buzz and is great.
However when SWIM smokes a couple cigarettes after, he starts to
feel nauseous and usually vomits. He has been using for a while, so it
isn't just because he's a new user.
