From what I understand smoking has an effect on all meds by keeping them from working properly. I also was told it can give a sense of relaxing after inhaling, but then it causes anxiety to actually get worse.

I'm on Propanalol plus several other meds. I started smoking in my 50s and am now am 61. I quit several months ago, started again when my anxiety was getting worse. Quit one week later. Now I am missing the enjoyment I had with the routine. I use to smoke only outside. My anxiety and depression are worse now than they have ever been. The loss of the habit is adding to my depression. It was a bad time to quit, but I had to. I'm so depressed now I have no interest in eating. The cigs also taste horrible to me now. I would ask your doctor about that to be sure.
