is a fear of stop smoking a phobia

-
I took a call today from a lady who thought she should stop smoking but was scared her health would get worse plus she would get fat.

Is this a phobia? what do you think?

Well I treated it as it presented and she's OK now and smoke FREE

  It's sometimes hard to believe this CIMSPA journey was started nearly 10 years ago when I started working with CIMSPA ( Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity ) to develop the national standards for tai chi and qigong. After initially writing them, we went to a public consultation stage and received the largest number of comments of ANY national standard produced. Next was the refinement stages where we split the standards into two sessions Core coaching – for example, BCCMA coaching course, and group exercise instructor course.
