So my question is - Can cigarettes affect your whole stability, mood, and self anxiety etc?

Id like to remind you that i was a healthy guy before i startet to smoke, no disorder, but very self observant. I read a few articles that cigarettes Can totally affect the mood of people, eg wrote 1/6 people who quit have more happiness when quiting, 3/6 use as anti depressant (yet Can either get happiness or depressed when quitting), and 2/6 are just happy no matter.

Could there be imbalance or something if you were to be depressed (etc) from smoking.

If its not possible to get depressed, anxious, and whatever from smoking, even tho i clearly believe we do not mentally get the same reaction from all drugs. Is there a disorder or whatever where you have a hard time speaking words because of your throat, get anxious, and feel nothing?
the dsm5 has many new mental disorders in every category. there is more than one mental disorder that addresses anxiety problems and there is a diagnostic category for substance related and addictions like smoking cigarettes, other drugs and alcohol. to find out which ones fit you, you will need to contact a treatment provider and go through the assessments\evaluations for mental disorders and substance related disorders/addictions.
