Smoking cessation compared with smoking continuation may slightly reduce anxiety at six weeks to two years (low‐certainty evidence) and could reduce the new incidence of anxiety, but this result is imprecise. Smoking cessation probably results in a small reduction in mixed anxiety and depression (moderate‐certainty evidence) and in new incidence of mixed anxiety and depression. The effects of smoking cessation on depression score and incidence of depression are very uncertain.
