Psychiatrist,  's  Response
It is good that you seek help for stop smoking.Smoking just make our brain somewhat inactive so you forgot your problem and feel relaxed.however as soon as effect of smoking over,you again feel stressed and start smoking.Ultimately your problem is there only.
Two things necessary
First quit smoking with help of deaddciction specialist through medicines.
Second consult same doctor for your stress management if he/she is a psychiatrst. You have to learn other mechanisms to cope up with stress which may require lifestyle changes and if any comorbid psychiatric disorder, it should also be treated.If nay query , late me know.
