If your shortness of breath is due to a panic attack it probably is due to you hyperventillating and not asthma, so an inhaler may not help.
Smoking has various effects on the brain so quitting may or may not help panic attacks, but it would be the best thing you could do for your health in general.
See your primary care doctor who can tell if you have asthma or not and may be able to prescibe medication that can reduce or eliminate your panic attacks (like Zoloft).

im not sure if they are directly related or not but they will probably reduce. panic attacks aren’t usually caused by smoking but the nicotine definately isn’t helping, if you can find the main reason for them (are you depressed? stressed out?) then you will feel better in general. you will always have asthma, meaning you will still have asthma attacks every now and then but i recommend quitting, it’s way better for health anyways.

but it’s your body do what you want, i’m not gonna try to preach to you like some people.

Anxiety disorders are divided into generalized anxiety, phobic, and panic disorders; each with its own characteristics and symptoms. You can experience anything from simple nervousness to bouts of terror.

Anxiety as a problem can become pretty nasty. Not surprisingly, it seems to happen more under high stress, but it can suddenly show up form as single stressful event. People not only feel nervous but they can get headaches, muscle spasms, the sweats, heart palpitations, and high blood pressure. A lot of people who have increased anxiety also develop clinical depression.

Somebody already mentioned increased adrenaline, but over the last 15-20 years there’s been a lot of study about changes in the brain associated with anxiety and other emotional disorders. For example, there are chemicals in the rain called neurotransmitters that either speed up or slow down brain activity. An imbalance in the relative levels of these chemicals can either cause a person to feel overly stimulated or unable to get themselves out of bed. A decrease in one of these, a chemical called GABA has been associated with chronic anxiety.

Over time, they are finding actual brain changes as a result of chronic imbalances such as an increase or decrease in gray matter, so it’s probably a good idea to get these disorders under control earlier rather than later.

It may reduce because of you will have less smoke entering your lungs and hurting your bronchioles.

Panic attacks, also known as anxiety attacks, are simply a manifestation of strong anxiety. There may be many underlying triggers of your panic attacks. Panic attacks are thought to emanate from higher adrenaline production, thus increasing your heart rate and giving you a speedy feeling. During panic attacks, many thoughts are rushing in your head leading to an information overload, where you just can not process all of them at once.

It is rather difficult to stop them as anxiety in most cases is an irrational phenomenon which will act individually of your conscious mind. However meditation, supplements, exercise and many other techniques will help you alleviate their severity. If your panic attacks are due to phobias, such as social phobia, you will want to work on improving this condition. It is important to track down the triggers of the anxiety and learn to face them without fear.

I have found supplements and exercise one of the most useful, do a little research and you will find more great ways which may be helpful to you at reducing anxiety.

Probably not, but who am I? If your body is used to smoking, which it probably is, than do what makes you breathe and relax best. Go and try both in similar situations.
