Some studies found a bidirectional relationship (Brown, Lewinsohn, Seeley, & Wagner, 1996;Wang, Fitzhugh, Turner, Fu, & Westerfield, 1996;Windle & Windle, 2001), but the others found unidirectional relationships, either depression as a predictor of smoking or smoking as a predictor of depression (Goodman & Captman, 2000;Patton, Carlin, Coffey, & Wolfe, 1998;Wu & Anthony, 1999). Brown et al (1996) investigated the effects of smoking at Time 1 (i.e., those who smoked three or more times per week vs. those who smoked two or less times per week) on the incidence of depression between Time 1 and Time 2 among those who did not experience depression at Time 1.…”
