"Research conducted at King’s College London and reported in The Lancet Psychiatry today indicates that smoking is associated with an increased
risk of developing psychosis; a mental health disorder that disrupts
normal processing by the brain causing delusion and hallucination.
Smoking tobacco has long been associated with psychosis, and
particularly schizophrenia, but today the nature of that association has changed. It was thought that smoking was common among patients with
psychotic illness because they were using cigarettes to help ease the
pain of distressing beliefs and the frustration or anxiety stemming from persistent hallucinations. However, the latest research indicates that
smoking cigarettes may actually increase the risk of developing
psychosis in the first place."
