Cigarette smoking is strongly associated with psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia. For several decades it was assumed that the relationship could be explained by reverse causation; that smoking was secondary to the illness itself, either through self-medication or a process of institutionalization, or was entirely explained by confounding by cannabis use or social factors. However, studies have exposed that such hypotheses cannot fully explain the association, and more recently a bidirectional relationship has been proposed wherein cigarette smoking may be causally related to risk of psychosis, possibly a shared genetic liability to smoking and psychosis. We review the evidence for these candidate explanations, using findings from the latest epidemiological, neuroimaging, genetic and preclinical work.
吸烟与精神分裂症等精神障碍密切相关。几十年来,人们一直认为这种关系可以用反向因果关系来解释;即吸烟是疾病本身的次要因素,要么是通过自我治疗或制度化过程,要么完全是由大麻使用或社会因素造成的混杂所解释。然而,研究表明这些假设不能完全解释这种关联,最近有人提出了一种双向关系,即吸烟可能与精神病风险存在因果关系,可能是吸烟和精神病存在共同的遗传易感性。我们利用最新的流行病学、神经影像学、遗传学和临床前研究结果,对这些候选解释的证据进行综述。
