I believe it affects the brain. Smoking causes depression. Recent research suggests that an increased risk of depression is among the many negative effects of smoking, possibly because nicotine damages certain pathways in the brain that regulate mood. As a result,nicotine may trigger mood swings. A vicious cycle is at play.
