I really like your link [2]:

> A dose-dependent relationship was found between smoking and protection from schizophrenia. This is really interesting.

The study found smoking protects against schizophrenia. The blog author skewers later science for completely misrepresenting this study in their review.

Nicotine is sort of similar to niacin/niacinamide (vitamin b3), which is probably why it protects against schizophrenia. I recommended niacinamide to a young woman who’d just quit smoking, “again”. She says the vitamin is great, is still taking it 1.5 years later and recommends it to all her coworkers who want to quit smoking.

And it calmed down some of her “personalities”.
