Abstract :
Use of tobacco products is closely linked to a
number of psychiatric disorders. Current criteria for
mental health issues, such as mood disorders, anxiety
disorders, and psychosis, are more likely to be met by
smokers than by non-smokers. A possible explanation
for why smoking rates is greater in this population is
that smokers with psychiatric illnesses may find it more
difficult to stop. Aim: To determine the prevalence of
smoking and tobacco use, as well as how these
behaviours relate to one another. Methodology: A
Medline and PubMed search was used to find pertinent
material. Outcomes: Information on recently developed
alternative tobacco products like electronic cigarettes,
hookahs, beedis, and kreteks is lacking in the scientific
literature. This assessment only addresses the usage of
tobacco and cigarettes as a result.
Keywords :
Tobacco, Nicotine Abuse, Nicotine Addiction, Schizophrenia, ADHD, Mood Disorders, Anxiety, Smoking Behaviour, Psychopharmacology, Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors.
