Talk:Schizophrenia and tobacco smoking

Other approaches
When the main page led me to this article, my immediate first question was whether schizophrenics have similarly high rates of addiction to other addictive substances, and how rates of addiction compared across classes of addictive substances. I see no such research cited here, just a direct focus on possible reasons. Does any such research exist? Is the approach of the article a limitation of the article or of the current research? - Tenebris —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.254.156.208 (talk) 12:21, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Interesting study

Causes, what causes?
In its current form (permalink), I believe the ==Causes== section is problematic, not least because of the highly particular way it's been structured ever since the page was created in 2009 (permalink). Surely it should follow WP:MEDRS (including WP:MEDDATE) by presenting current knowledge, rather than a long list of assorted "theories"? There also appears to be an editorial mismatch between title ("Causes") and content (posited explanations for the disproportionate smoking habits). 86.186.120.156 (talk) 17:54, 26 April 2021 (UTC)

Rather a STRIDENT claim - not sure this should be so.
This is a robust claim - but there are many academic articles that do not use such AFFIRMATIVE language. Chose to soften the language. BeingObjective (talk) 23:55, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

A case of causality - I think this article could mislead - a bunch of theories.
