Hi Denise
Not sure I could show the effect smoking cessation has on ADs but I am a 100% believer that smoking has a very strong and direct effect on depression. I quit a two pack a day habit 15 months ago and have been in a chronic state of depression ever since. IMHO there is no question the effect on dopamine is the real issue. It is a shame there are NO REAL dopamine ADs and I don't expect to see any down the road......the powers that be fear the abuse potential of such drugs.
Wish you the best,
Geezer
