Smoking could raise mental illness risk

Notes:

  • Smoking may be a factor for developing psychotic illnesses
  • Secondhand smoke may increase the risk of stroke
  • Smoking's impact on levels of the chemical dopamine in the brain 


Summary:

Scientists have suggested that smoking could be a factor for developing psychotic illnesses like schizophrenia.The analysis by researchers from King College London, found that people who suffer from psychosis are three times more likely to smoke than the rest. Secondhand  smoke may increase the risk of stroke by about 30% for nonsmokers as study has warned and it has also found that even after adjustment for other stroke factors such as heart disease, the 30% risk remained. Smoking impact on levels of the chemical dopamine in the brain, which also plays a role in psychotic illness.



Personal reflection:

All studies has found that smoking causes a serious risk whether are mental illness or physical illness, so every smoking's person should take a serious step to start decreasing the amount of cigarettes and stop completely smoking .  The risk could reach to another persons life its not only about smokers life, so we have to start thinking wisely which way we choose.
