A person finds no happiness except in obedience to Allah and drawing close to Him. Therefore, you must immediately repent of sins by wearing the and quitting smoking. Seek the help of righteous companionship that will assist you in obedience, and adhere to (remembrance of Allah) and du'a (supplication). Trust in Allah's mercy and forgiveness, for He erases sins through repentance. As for panic and fear, supplicate to Allah to remove them from you, and consult psychiatrists for treatment.
