Abstract

Smoking is one cause of death in the United States. Almost a quarter of the population smokes, and this habit has been associated with about 430,000 deaths per year. Psychiatric disorders are 2-3 times more common among smokers than non-smokers or ex-smokers. The prevalence of smoking in patients with anxiety is 17% to 55%. By behavior, the stimulant effect of nicotine results in increased attention, time to react, learning and problem-solving skills. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between light and heavy smoking habit and anxiety level with citizens in Tegal Sari Mandala II and III village, Medan. This study is categorical analytic study with cross sectional method to see the relation between smoker and anxiety level to citizen in Tegal Sari Mandala 2 and 3 village with 180 subjects in this study and will be analyze by Chi-Square. The level of smoking habit will be asked during interviews and the anxiety level will be examined by Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS). In this study it was found that the greatest possible level of anxiety/anxiety in both light smokers and heavy smokers was the same, i.e. moderate anxiety but it can be ascertained that in heavy smokers it is less likely to experience mild anxiety (p <0.001).
