But that does not disprove that both smoking increases likelihood of depression and also depression or mental illness increases likelihood of smoking

My point is not about smoking that is just an example

My point is correlation shown in statistical signifucance tests does not support causation unless people are assigned to do an activity instead of looking at who chose to do an activity before the data was collected
