I've always thought that many smokers were self-medicating.
Genes are part of the story.


SMOKING and depression have a common genetic link, according to a new study in the journal Twin Research and Human Genetics. The study found that nicotine dependence and major depression are both associated with extreme rebellious behaviour during childhood and adolescence -- a condition known as "conduct disorder". In 1992, the research team conducted telephone interviews with 3360 pairs of male twins aged 35 to 53, who served in the military during the Vietnam War. Fifty-six per cent of the pairs were genetically identical twins, and 44 per cent were fraternal twins who shared half their genes. Answers from each twin were compared to estimate the genetic and environmental influences on nicotine addiction and major depression. Genes that increased a person's risk of developing nicotine addiction and major depression were also found in those with conduct disorder. The findings may also help to explain why smoking seems to run in some families, say the authors.
