Welcome!
There is no miracles and no cures sadly. But there is hope and treatment, the key is finding what works best for you. There is a lot of info here on the forum and it's good to learn about the different treatments as it will help when talking to your doctor.
I'm in the US but was also prescribed creams to start with (that seems to be the normal approach.) I didn't find that prescribed creams helped much more than over the counter moisturizers. I'd definitely get back in touch with your doctor and see if he/she will try something else. And after 2 years of not smoking (congrats!), I wouldn't go back to it.
