Smoking does NOT treat disease.

Smoking is a disease creating habit. More
and more diseases are added everyday.

The latest is anxiety disorders.

There is the common assumption that for smokers the
act of smoking relieves anxiety. When actually the
opposite is true, smoking is a risk factor for severe
anxiety.[1]

Smoking is an independent risk factor for severe
anxiety.
