Nicotine withdrawal causes anxiety so yeah, smoking will help with that form of anxiety. In my experience it also applies to nicotine replacements.
Be careful: most smokers start out as light occasional smokers and then find themselves addicted.
Sorry about your mum: emphysema is a crappy condition to have. I'm at least lucky mine was diagnosed in its early stages and so far I've managed to prevent it from deteriorating, but it'll get me in the end if something else doesn't get me first.
Great that you mum has quit: I've met a few people who keep smoking with emphysema and I honestly don't know how they can do it. After heavy smoking for decades I finally quit and was diagnosed a year or so later and now I physically can't stand to be around other people's cigarette smoke.
Cannabis - I need advice

I see... I smoke cigarettes but not everyday and I feel nicotine does help me with my anxiety. Mum had emphysema too and she had to quit smoking.
