To remove this belief smoking reduces fear do each of the following, for at least two full rounds. It is essential this reaches your subconscious mind completely and over-rides any previous programming.

'Even though my subconscious mind has been trying to protect me the best it knows how, by making the incorrect connection that smoking protects me from an unknown danger, which I now know is caused by smoking and will pass of its own accord, I deeply and completely accept myself and now choose to see smoking for the real danger it holds, freeing me from my addiction to nicotine'

'Even though I have been mistaken all these years thinking smoking was removing the fear, when in fact it was causing it, I totally respect and forgive myself and choose to be free from this illusion'

'Even though it is better to live with the devil you know rather than the devil you don't, I deeply and completely love and accept myself and see that the devil I have been living with is the real danger'

I believe this is why pregnant mothers are able to give up smoking only to start again after the baby is born. Their primal instinct to protect the unborn, is stronger than their need to protect themselves. Once the baby is safe, self preservation returns. At the first sign of danger or stress, the subconscious mind remembers that once nicotine had seemed to help, and so the cravings return.
