Smoking
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Seeing a professional is especially helpful when someone wants to quit smoking, since tobacco use disorder is a dependence on tobacco that combines physical, behavioral, and emotional aspects, and is not just a habit.
Why it is considered a condition: Nicotine creates dependence, and sustained use is associated with respiratory, cardiovascular, and other effects over time.
Signs of dependence: the need to smoke upon waking, irritability or anxiety when trying to quit, and difficulty cutting back despite wanting to.
Which specialists get involved? A pulmonologist, an internist, or a general practitioner can provide guidance on physical health, while a psychologist or a psychiatrist support the behavioral and emotional component. Seeking this combined help makes it easier to face the process with better tools.
