The first study mentioned in this review on this topic reached the conclusion that, although cognitive performance was better in patients with FEP who smoked than in non-smoking patients in terms of selective attention and working memory soon after the first stabilization, in a different way, six months after the initiation of antipsychotic treatment, the baseline differences in terms of selective attention and working memory parameters were no longer significant between smokers and non-smokers, with the exception of Stroop-I mean RT, and after one year performance was similar between the groups.32 This could be explained if non-smokers might obtain more benefit from practice effects, since they start with a more disadvantageous performance than smokers, as various studies have pointed out that worse baseline scores predict greater cognitive improvement.57,58 Another explanation for the improvements in non-smokers might be because of the therapeutic effects of SGA on cognition
