Abstract: Use of tobacco products is closely linked to a number of psychiatric disorders. Current criteria for mental health issues, such as mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and psychosis, are more likely to be met by smokers than by non-smokers. A possible explanation for why smoking rates is greater in this population is that smokers with psychiatric illnesses may find it more difficult to stop. Aim: To determine the prevalence of smoking and tobacco use, as well as how these behaviours relate to one another. Methodology: A Medline and PubMed search was used to find pertinent material. Outcomes: Information on recently developed alternative tobacco products like electronic cigarettes, hookahs, beedis, and kreteks is lacking in the scientific literature. This assessment only addresses the usage of tobacco and cigarettes as a result.
