Here' the Source: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ze8P_oKPElM And Here's a vid that shuts the above up in under 10 seconds calling Bull**** http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFN_Uvp0DNM So apparently, people are not connecting Schizo to Smoking. I put that when they said if you text alot (and your a girl) you have sex a lot. No that exists to.. Where are they getting this from? I don't think smoking, or at least smoking cigarettes is going to make you end up in the Yellow Room with the padded walls. That's a little reaching don't you think? Shouldn't you doctors be finding a cure for cancer or aids or something>

Schizophrenics do have a high rate of smoking. Although it does not cause schizophrenia. Nicotine decreases the amount of auditory hallucinations they have so they will usually smoke like chimneys

In the case of marijuana smoking in can cause earlier onset but does not cause schizophrenia

Because I'm pretty sure they are all just doctors and not scientists but other videos are claiming scientists only and others are claiming only doctors and otheres are claiming both. Either way, this is based on a professional opinion regardless, so this is going to spread fast.

I remember reading an article several years ago that smoking actually helps prevent certain mental illnesses such as Alzheimer's.

A doctor in a field can be a scientist. Like a someone with a PhD in Psychology is considered a scientist but you still call them doctor

I think you are over analyzing the connection between the two. They aren't throwing out causal relationships here.

If you added one more question mark to your topic I would have taken it seriously. But apparently we have a comedian on these boards now.

If you have a PhD in anything you are a dr. And if you have a law degree you're a juris doctor.

I know I was just pointing out that doctors are still scientist and was just using one example :)

u gotta have real confidence with yourself and others to smoke and not be **** bout it. yeah theres the losers that think everything is about them, smoking multiplies that thought making themschizo when things dont go there way.

what is this term "schizophrenia"? if someone thinks others have a plot to hurt them and its true is that considered schizo?
