I was under the impression that nicotine produces an increase in the release of dopamine in reward centers. In addition, it might have a beneficial effect in schizophrenia as it can improve executive function. Nicotine feels good. It is anxiolytic. It might be argued that the individuals with mental illness that are most severely affected are most likely to smoke (self-medicate), thus producing a positive association between smoking and suicide.
