> I've been chewing the nicotin gum trying to quit smoking (and I figured if it helped the depression, I would just keep chewing it). The funny thing is that the nicotin itself doesn't seem to help. When I smoke, I get an opiate-like feeling and some stimulation. With the nicotin gum, I just get the stimulation. I'm wondering if there's something else in the *smoke* itself besides the nicotin that helps the depression. Anyway, the answer to that question may never be found. I'm a recovering opiate addict, so some of the depression might be endorphin related. It's probably high time I started exercising again!!
