Cigarettes...

I've noticed a few people say things along the lines of 'After the beast leaves, I like to relax with a smoke."
For me, this is almost like an immediate invitation for the bastard to return. I learned a long time ago that, for me, this is a BAD move!!!
Anyone else?

Now this really pisses me off 
During and after a hit, I'm dying for a smoke. And you guys have no problem ?
I guess the bastard has his way of treating each of us differently.

BC,
I've got to join your camp on this one. I only smoke "occasionally". Usually no more than 1 one 2 in a day when I do. I have found that while it does not instantly trigger a full blown CH, it will sure bring on a shadow in a hurry.
Honest folks, I have nothing against your smoking and I'm not going to tell ya to stop. You know what works for you better than anyone. It just isn't good for ME.

I smoke 'em before and after.....haven't ever managed to do one during a hit, don't even really think about them then............ guess I'm distracted for some reason. LOL
I think my kids are afraid I'm going to blow everything up with a smoke and the 02.....not quite used to having the 02 around yet.

I don't think smoking had anything to do with my CH. I never felt like doing it when being visited my this horror either. I was a very heavy smoker.
As they are tired of hearing..I quit 22 years ago after my dentist told me I stunk. I know how odd that sounds... My headaches have been gone for 11 years. Beats me........ 
Other than the bothersome statistic that chers here, are smokers about twice the national average, there is nothing to link the two.

Before medication, when my attacks went full blast, I used to measure the attack length in number of cigarillos smoked.
(BTW, I miss Charlie's input here  )

Ueli,
I don't know if you have them over there (of course I'm sure you do), but they make some cigarillos that have been dipped in brandy, rum, or cognac........oh my, they are lovely!!!
My husband won't let me around cigars....he says it's too painful to watch. What can I say....I inhale.

If I can force myself to chain smoke during a CH I can sometimes abort it.

brain...I'm with you, if I'm shadowing on the verge...smoke will send me to 10.
After abort...only with O2, if I smoke...immediately comes back.
After abort...with imitrex...smoke away!!
I wait 5 minutes after O2 to smoke, then I'm good to go, till the next attack.

Man, one of the finest cigarettes of the day is the one right after a 10 lets go of me! I stack the nicotine on top of the after-headache euphoria and just waller in it.
No trigger for me, and I can take 'em or leave 'em during an attack.
Pain Free Days, friends!

Here's the thing - I gave up smoking a year before the first cluster hit.
I was a heavy smoker, I totally enjoyed it and I never thought I would ever give up - except I had breathing problems.
I wondered, during the bout, which lasted eleven weeks, if it would have been easier were I still smoking and my suspicion is yes. I have found no appropriate reward since.
Unfortunately, I know I will never smoke again so returning to it is not an option

After a round with the beast, I'm usually pretty wasted so I smoke a cigarette but it doesn't seem to bother me.

Hell it is all FM re: Clusters.
Last Feb ny Neuro reccomended I quit smoking to help reduce the CH. So like an idiot I did.
Normally my cycle stops in Late March or early April. Last spring it kept right on goung thru a couple weeks ago without let up.
So if any one tells you stop smoking they will go away they is a nut case. I used to walk and smoke during my worst CH attacks and let me tell you the nicotine helped.
bad thing now is since i quit now I can't stand the smell and won't even try to smoke again ( at least this week)
