[Rails] best practices in methods

Hello, 

Consider this code, it gets a mention and an array of tags.

It finds the mentions and add the tags.

But in my methods I keep using return if foo.nil?

or execute a line of code if a line is not nil.

Is there a better way of doing this kind of thing?

Thks

def add_tags_to_mention mention_id, *tags

mention = Mention.find mention_id

return if mention.nil?

tags.each do |tag_id|

tag = Tag.find tag_id

mention.tags.push(tag.to_mongo) if tag

end

end
