  • Logistic regression revealed significant associations between regular smoking and male gender, illness duration (10-19 years), divorced/separated status, lower education, and high daily doses of neuroleptics.
  • Heavy smoking in men was associated with a history of hospital treatment.

    • Conclusions:

    • Smoking in schizophrenia patients is linked to extended illness duration, substantial neuroleptic dosages, and institutional care.
    • Cessation or reduction interventions for cigarette smoking should be integrated into the comprehensive treatment plans for schizophrenia patients.
