Will quitting smoking worsen my panic attacks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Quitting smoking may: actually help you to stop having panic attacks. PA are essentially a fear of being out of control--having another PA. Smoking is something you can get control over. Peace and good health. This will also help your breathing, which folks w/PA get concerned about.
