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.
