im just asking because i am a wėęd smoker thats been medicated in the past. i’ve told my doctors many times i smoke and instead of being understanding about it and trying to help accordingly, they tell me i need to quit and it makes my anxiety worse. 
but for me its the opposite; it calms my racing thoughts at times and relaxes me.
but i know that it by itself will not fix my anxiety and im considering getting back on medication again my anxiety is getting bad again.
but is this something that anyone else does?
