I didn’t start smoking until i was in the psych ward for the first time. It was ubiquitous in the early 90s…it was advantageous to be a smoker on the ward cuz then you got to go outside for “smoke breaks”. They made it a reward to go outside to smoke and would take the “privilege” away if you acted out.

The Nami class i took about 6 months ago said their evidence show smoking helps against positive symptoms.
I dont smoke for health reasons but i thought that was interesting.
