Chainsnuser: If you look to the right of the article in Science Daily, you'll see links to a number of studies on nicotine. There are at least three listed there that link smoking (nicotine in our case) to increased depression in regular users.
I spend hours reading Science Daily reports. It pulls in just about everything of interest to us and our chosen lifestyle.

You should be a doctor! And I think you're right. I've been a lifelong smoker, off 10 months now and on snus. When I was depressed, or bored, or angry, or exhausted, I'd ... light up. I never felt a craving to light up when I was suddenly elated by something that happened. I smoked mostly for negative emotions, because nicotine is both stimulating and relaxing. It made me feel better. Did it depress me? Hell no. I loved smoking. Love nicotine period.
We all need to keep in mind that even medical literature will accept almost anything that is anti-smoking, anti-tobacco, anti-nicotine. Most of those studies have Big Pharmaceutical financing behind them (those companies fund "charitable" and "health" groups to push an anti-tobacco agenda). The studies seek to legitimize foregone conclusions. The solution is to use nicotine-replacement therapy products. Voila! Follow the money .. again.
This all depresses me. I need a snus.
