Introduction: Smoking is a public health problem associated with chronic degenerative diseases. The coexistence of tobacco consumption and anxiety disorders was detected, which represent the most frequent psychiatric illnesses around the world. Objective: Analyze the prevalence of symptoms of anxiety and their severity as a consequence of tobacco dependence in young adults from two communities in the State of Mexico. Material and methods: This is a descriptive, observational, and cross-sectional study. The measurement instrument was a survey consisting of the Fagerström test, the Glover-Nilsson test, and Beck anxiety inventory. Prior informed consent applied to adults aged 18–35 years from the municipalities of Huixquilucan and Atlautla, State of Mexico with a calculated sample of 300 subjects. The analysis was carried out using SPSS Statistics, with a significance level of α = 0.05. Results: 50.2% of the population were active smokers and 15.8% showed high suspicion of anxiety disorders independent of smoking. In smokers, 15.1% had scores for an anxiety disorder while more than 60% showed mild anxiety symptoms and 18.9%, moderate anxiety. A high prevalence of moderate dependence on nicotine was found in those smokers whose age of initiation of consumption was 16–19 years and who also had previous failure to abandon consumption. Conclusion: Anxious symptoms were found in 66% of those surveyed. This is relevant since mental illnesses have shown a significant increase, generating long-term problems in the overall health of adults.
