The present study reports novel associations between the various reinforcing components of smoking behavior assessed by the WISDM-68 and regional brain volumes. Results suggest that the underlying emotional/cognitive/sensory processes that drive non-compulsive smoking behaviors may play a larger role in grey matter abnormalities of smokers than smoking exposure or addiction severity.
