That seems counter intuitive, and everything I'm seeing on an initial search says the opposite. Example: https://www.bbc.com/news/health-19659985 https://www.bbc.com/news/health-19659985.
The aggregate conclusion I'm seeing is that smarts corresponds with a small bump in happiness.

I could argue that it doesn't matter hugely, as the absence of conclusive evidence, and the question of which way causality lies, was the parallel I was drawing to the 'religious people are happier' claim.
