Tobacco and psychosis
In this issue of the journal, McGrath and associates examined whether age at first tobacco use was associated with diagnosed non-affective psychosis, hallucinations or delusion-like experiences among 3752 individuals born at the Mater Hospital in Brisbane, Australia, between 1981 and 1984 (McGrath et al., 2015). They found that those who commenced tobacco use aged 15 years or younger were significantly more like to have non-affective psychosis, delusion-like experiences and hallucinations.
