Taking Gabapentin Along With Panadol Osteo For Nerve Compression Pain. Smoking Heavily Due To Depression. Should I Quit?

Am taking gabapentin (400mg) 3 times dailt with panadol osteo for severe nerve compression pain due to S1 L4/5 being damaged. The pain is slightly reduced with this combination but am stilll smoking up to 15 cigarettes per day for anxiety due to depression from my life being ruined, a shattered heart and my mother's never ending bullshit. Should I try giving up smoking now?
