Nicotine use papered over so many things.
90% of diagnosed schizophrenics smoke cigarettes. I don't think they've found the mechanism but something in the tobacco helps manage their symptoms.
Wow TIL - that's wild! Nicotine just instantly scratches the "good job!" portion of your brain. Makes sense that folks with an imbalance in brain chemistry want some happy drugs to fix it. There's also the chance that nicotine could worsen or cause schizophrenia in some way!
