A fact from Schizophrenia and tobacco smoking appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 28 December 2009 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that studies across 20 countries show a strong association between schizophrenia and smoking?
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)[reply]
In its current form (permalink), I believe the ==Causes== section is problematic, not least because of the way it's structured. 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) 17:30, 26 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
