Article origins[edit]

The tobacco smoking page has been deemed to be too long. I've created this page as a home for info relating to "gateway" models and correlative models as they relate to tobacco and other drugs. This is not the Gateway drug theory page, but links to it. The name is bad. Perhaps someone could suggest something better? Maybe "Tobacco's relationship to other drugs" Phyesalis (talk) 21:42, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Responsibility[edit]

From the opening paragraph: "The two main theories are the phenotypic causation (gateway) model and the correlated liabilities model. The causation model argues that smoking is a primary influence on future drug use, while the correlated liabilities model argues that smoking and other drug use are predicated on genetic or environmental factors."

Am I reading this right? The two main theories for why people smoke and do drugs is:

  1. "The tobacco made me do it.", or
  2. "My DNA or environment made me do it." ?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.19.0.35 (talk) 06:29, 12 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yes; although for part 2 perhaps it would be better to say "My DNA or environment made me do drugs." (that is, both tobacco and 'other drugs'). Klbrain (talk) 04:03, 19 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
