Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, you need rehabilitation treatment. So better to consult psychiatrist and enroll in dead diction center. You will need counseling sessions and nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) for anxiety and smoking dead diction 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.
