Just my opinion but I don't think smoking affects MAO levels to a significant degree...and yes, you can smoke on MAOIs...I used to!
I've never heard of tobacco doing this, bizarre! I have heard that nicotine elevates dopamine levels in the brain...that was the main reason I was given for the association of depressives and smoking.
