There is some evidence that smoking is associated with increased gene expression for monoamine oxidase production. Whether this is a cause or effect is not known. However, it has been noted that when smokers stop smoking, there is an increased rate of MAO production compared to the general population. However, this may be a trait marker for smokers that preceeded smoking.
