ANXIETY/SMOKING: There is extra anxiety due to covid 19- stay safe, cautious & hold on to hopefulness. 1st have a physical exam by a Dr. Please consult with a Clinical Psychologist for psychotherapy to help with your issues & conflicts with Zoom sessions. With psychotherapy you can grow & change in good ways & find better coping mechanisms to stop smoking. Medication prescribed by a Psychiatrist can help.
