Can Constant Feeling Of Smell Of Cigarette Be Related To Depression?

I am experiencing the sensation of smelling cigarette smoke constantly without the presence of cigarettes. I am not a smoker. I have been treated for situational depression in the past two years with Wellbutrin and I have heard that this is sometimes a sign of depression. Could this be the cause of my sensations?
