There may be factors associated with both smoking and depression and anxiety, such as other substance use (eg, alcohol), socioeconomic adversity and education which cannot be fully accounted for in observational studies.13 In addition, even if a causal association does exist, the direction of the relationship between smoking and depression and anxiety is unclear.14 Prospective studies have provided evidence that depressive symptoms are associated with increased likelihood of smoking initiation,2 ,7 ,1517 while smoking cessation appears to be associated with a short-term increase in depressive symptoms during their quit attempt among a subgroup of smokers, and these individuals have poor smoking cessation outcomes.18 This evidence is consistent with the popular belief that cigarette smoking can reduce anxiety and improve mood, particularly among those experiencing anxiety or low mood (the self-medication hypothesis)
