Hi and thanks for using HCM.
I have read your question and understand your concerns.
Smoking cigarettes or marihuana, affects brain function by gradually closing brain vessels and lowering blood supply.
Best thing is not to smoke at all.
If you have to smoke regardless of medical opinion, I think better to smoke marihuana ( for the anxiety) than cigarettes.
Hope this helps. Don't smoke.
