This site won't let me copy and paste from the article, but its basically describing a study with 1,190 participants. And the ones who smoked were more likely to develop depression during the 11 year period that the study was done. And heavy smokers were the most likely to experience depression, while non-smokers were the least likely to develop depression during the 11 years.
