A study found that nicotine may help to curb depression. But this does not mean that people should go for smoking or start using nicotine patches to curtail depression.
The study reported that people who are non-smoker found to experience depression as compared to the smokers.
The report is not meant to encourage people for smoking as it is one of the significant factors contributing to a lager number of deaths.
This information may prove beneficial to the researchers to further development of new treatments .
Moreover, pharmaceutical companies are also working to manufacture a drug resembling the properties of nicotine by evading its addictive nature.
So, depressed need to wait till the drug or the treatment comes to the market. Further, avoid smoking as it is not a health builder rather a health destructor.
