memory loss is more closely associated with Alzheimer's or dissociative amnesia, even though both mental abnormalities aren't related to each other.
schizophrenia, on the other hand does involve problems with memory and the creation of memories of events that never took place or of people who don't exist.
But, for someone to exhibit memory loss, but none of the other classic symptoms of schizophrenia, such as delusions/hallucinations, general illogical thinking, disorganized patterns of speech, and basically no definite concept of what is real and unreal does not mean that a person has schizophrenia.

Can schizophrenia be caused by smoking?
Smoking does not reduce the causes of schizophrenia. However, there is some indication that smoking can reduce either the symptoms of schizophrenia or the side effects of antipsychotic medications, or both, which may be why 70-90 percent of people with schizophrenia smoke. The semi-beneficial effects of nicotine on people with schizophrenia may be caused by increased levels of acetycholine, which increases mood, and glutamate, which improves memory, in the brain. Both mood and memory problems are prevalent among people with schizophrenia.
