Yes. In depression and anxiety, it can be used as a self-soothing mechanism.
Also, when an addicted smoker tries to quit, even a person with no previous history of mental illness can experience anxiety and jitteriness as a withdrawal symptom.
Smoking is also a good way to detach from surroundings... when you're smoking and you're occupying yourself with something, you have less time to sit around and acknowledge how crappy you may be feeling- also, as you become addicted, the nicotine will offer you a soothing feeling which will offer you comfort- both when you're feeling depressed and anxious.
