Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you need rehabilitation treatment.
So better to consult psychiatrist and enroll in deaddiction center.
You will need counseling sessions and nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) for anxiety and smoking deaddiction respectively.
Don't worry, you will be able to quit smoking and anxiety pills. Just be strong and positive.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
