Euy's explanation about a phobia, a fear ,and healthy fears

In my opinion, the difference between a phobia and a normal fear is what makes our lifes unuseful. A fear may make our lives better, but a phobia disable us to do somethings. For example, we may fear of heights and this fear prevents us from falling the cliffs and make us more careful. However, if this fear of height prevents us from going above to 3rd floor then this is a phobia.
"The healthy fears" means that we concern much about our health ,so this makes me us fear for doing something. For example, when someone gives up smoking because they are afraid of developing lung cancer, this is a healthy fear because the danger is real and there are constructive steps they can take to avoid it.
