Tobacco use in teenagers causes paranoia and disturbances in their lives. Scientists attempted to answer this question by factoring in socio-economic status and gender. Scientists formed a study in which 3700 teenager twins were used as subjects in the study. One of the twins were smokers while the other one wasn’t. This allowed for the scientists to eliminate most of the differences between the subjects. It was found that the twin that smoked had more paranoia and was hallucinating more. Paranoia is caused by chemical imbalances in the brain. Having imbalances would affect how the neurotransmitters are sent throughout the brain. Parents had also noticed that there was disorganized thinking and a lack of motivation.
