Smoking is a die-hard habit and many people eventually die of the same. It remains one of the most common causes of cancer and lung diseases which eventually lead to death. The irony is that almost all smokers know the harmful effects but find it hard to quit. With a firm determination, there are people who quit but then the relapse rate is quiet high too.

Anxiety is one of those things that almost every individual faces at some point of time in his/her life. You can be anxious about many things.

For example, a person would be uncomfortable in water, and develop a phobia of swimming, or a person can be allergic to insects and get a phobia/fear of insects.

Smoking is definitely very dangerous habit. Due to smoking, mouth, throat, lungs, heart, brain and mind related disorders, diseases and cancer could result. Quitting smoking is no child's play and it takes time and courage. Best method is to completely quit today (now) and sustain with the help of your mind power. Mind power building therapy, motivation therapy should help you doing so.

You need to determine the underlying causes for anxiety and develop awareness and skills to become more confident, less fearful and find your strengths which will help you to deal with problems more efficiently. You can go to a counselling psychologist in your city for this. I am from Bangalore and offer Skype sessions besides face to face interaction.

Dear User,
You have identified your problems already. Smoking and other stuff causes damage to health. You must be aware of that. Having anxiety and panic attack could also be because of tobacco. That needs further evaluation.
For healthy life, You need to leave the bad habits, and get treatment from a psychiatrist for anxiety and panic disorder.

You are doing well to want to quit. Having tried it already twice is what quitting smoking is all about: very rarely do people succeed in their first attempt. But persevere you must. When you decide, it must be done immediately and abruptly. Waiting another day will jeopardize the decision. Since you want to do it again this time I recommend that you seek the help of a counselor and do it with support. I guess you know all the harm cigarettes do to your system, which is why I suppose you are see...more

Dear Pratik,
Marijuana can precipitate a psychotic disorder. So you need to be cautious of hallucination, delusion and bizarre behaviour.
In the long run, it can lead to amotivational syndrome. So please keep a watch on your job or career or family/relationship daily.
Are you smoking nicotine cigarettes also? In that case, you need to watch out for more harmful effects.
