>avoidance of nicotine impacting schizos
tobacco has MAOIs in it which a lot of people [unknowingly] use to self medicate. sudden removal of MAOIs in individuals can have some nasty effects.

I learned this myself the hard way

i have had more than one psychotic episode while binging out on nicotine gum to try to quit my 25 year habit (intense paranoia, putting myself in danger etc. etc)

I got plenty of other mental stuff that isn’t fixed, but it took a long time to realize that the stimulant part made it worse, the MAOI made it better.

as of now, the best solution I’ve found for that dichotomy is edible cannabis.  
pharma MAOIs are too speedy.
