Hello
Keep one thing in your mind that smoking is injurious to health so don't smoke further .
Now your concern about panic attack with breathlessness and sweating .
In my opinion this is not due to any disease , rather it is due to psychological effect.
Due to anxiety and tension there develop panic attack and this causes breathlessness , sweating ( some person also develops rapid heart rate i.e. palpitation).
Relax and divert your attention towards other things , still no relief then consult a psychiatrist and get his help.
Good luck.
