| A number of studies
have been conducted to explore the relationship between tobacco
and other drug use. While the association between smoking
tobacco and other drug use has been well-established, the nature
of this association remains unclear. The two main theories are
the phenotypic causation (gateway) model and the correlated
liabilities model.
The causation model argues that smoking is a primary influence
on future drug use, while the correlated liabilities model
argues that smoking and other drug use are predicated on genetic
or environmental factors.
