Hi Cale,
>I've found that nicotine (and perhaps that as of yet undiscovered MAOI-B inhibitor as well), can be very much an anti-depressant.
Actually, one of the MAOIs in cigarette smoke has been discovered (i.e.; identified). The compound is 2-naphthylamine and the good news is that it functions as a MAOI-A and MAOI-B. The bad news is that it is a carcinogen.
Here is a link to the abstract:
