Abstract
Past heavy smoking and current smoking are associated with increased frequency and severity of depression. Smoking cessation may play an important role in reducing the burden of depression in later life, but the success of smoking cessation interventions in decreasing the incidence and prevalence of depression might be predicated on the timing of the intervention; i.e., before the psychobiological changes associated with smoking become irreversible.
