What? You don't know any hostile and aggressive nonsmokers? I've known hundreds of ill-tempered nonsmokers, far more among nonsmokers or former smokers than among smokers. Give me a couple or three days and I'll take a closer look at that study and tear it apart. - Holy

...UC Irvine School of Medicine. Dr. Steven Potkin, a psychiatry professor,... I would have concerns about a study conducted by a psych professor named POTkin at a southern CA UC school. :)

A new study has found that the brains of men and women with naturally hostile, aggressive personalities respond more to nicotine than their nonhostile contemporaries. That's very interesting, the personality study. It would surprise some of those with whom I argue here, but while both my parents and sister were/are heavy smokers, and I was raised in a smokers' house, I've never had the least impulse to smoke. When my sister and I were kids, we'd sneak a cigarette when my parents went out and smoke it in our bedroom, blowing the smoke out the window through the tube of the enema bottle. I also liked to blow smoke rings. Not not enough to bother to become a smoker. That's because I'm so sweet.
