I workout,have since im 16.Cardio wise im probuably in enough shape to claim average,however i lift weights more so.
That said id obviously want to stop smoking,however the most i attempt now is cutbacks,even as a hypocrite i still fear stopping,i am postive id have a much worsened depressive state.
My brother just quit,and for the first time he called me and told me he understood what anxiety and depression must feel like,on the phone he described it to me and for the first time it sounded like he had a clue.
As far as the studies go,i mentioned before you can find so much on the net,so id recomend taking in everything with some salt and never forgetting to use actual life experieaces as a extremly crucial part,ive seen almost everthing ive read contradicted including smoking and caffiene being both harmful as well as positive for depression,i think we just dont know,and are judging all these end results we find from person to person as a main cause,when in fact as LOL I READ ONCE the main cause of depression is believed to be deep in a part of the brain we have not done much studying on yet,and that it lies similiar to parts of the brain responsable for laughter.
