The mean age of the sample was 37.10±11.32, the average number of cigarettes consumed per day was 22.74±11.81 and the duration of smoking was 19.84±11.59 years. It has been determined that smoking addicts have minor and mild anxiety, mild depression, moderate addiction, normal sleepiness and poor sleep quality. Also, age and gender were statistically significant to the smoking effect (p<0.05). There was a significant correlation between the levels of smoking, depression, addiction, sleepiness, and sleep quality of cigarette addicts (p<0.01). Conclusion: The reduction of anxiety and depression levels of smoking addicts is clear in the study results; it may be advisable to organize training for sleepiness problems and for improving sleep quality.
