Doctors have historically noticed that Schizophrenics smoke at a much higher rate than that of the typical population. This correlation is still evident today. Review the possible mechanisms of addiction and schizophrenia. Visit the Ashford University Library to locate at least one peer-reviewed article that was published within the last five years, which proposes a biological mechanism for the relationship between Schizophrenia and smoking. How does the data support the proposed mechanism in the article you chose? What other possible mechanisms might explain this relationship? Is it possible that biology has nothing to do with the relationship between smoking and schizophrenia? Your initial post should be a minimum of 250 words and utilize at least one peer-reviewed source published in the last five years.
