Are Teens Who Smoke Sadder Than You?

Smoke now, cry about it later.

Some people who smoke say it feels good, but according to a new study, they're kinda wrong.

Teen smokers are actually more likely to be depressed, nervous and worried than nonsmoking teens.

Are cigarettes making them depressed? Maybe, maybe not. It might be that teens who choose to take up smoking are doing it because they're depressed to begin with.

But either way you explain it, I think this is good evidence that you can't smoke yourself happy. (At least nothing on this list looks happy to me.)
