Hi Jim - so I pushed you buttons mate?
I'm not being touchy. I was smiling when I wrote my responses 
I never said everyone should give up smoking.
I said "I do agree that everyone should have the right and choice to smoke". To all those who find relaxation and pleasure from it, go for it. Just as long as you don't do it near me.
But, that does not stop me from thinking it's stupid though 
My parents smoked, my grandparents smoked, all their friends and family smoked, everyone smoked back in the 50's and 60's. Adverts said it was good for you, even heart doctors endorsed it (paid by the likes of Philip Morris and co). Kids thought it was so cool to smoke, so I smoked too. What do you suppose changed between then and now?
I finally decided to quit when I had kids of my own and did not want to subject them to the image of me smoking. It was tough quitting but I'm glad I did and both my kids are grown up now and think its stupid too so it was worth it to me.
But hey guys, that's just my opinion, so if you want to smoke that's just fine by me, but just remember who the tobacco "pushers" making zillions from this addictive substance, and they are still pulling in more and more young people every day to replace the older guys who give up.

I know my doctor has told me I should quit but I did that once and guess what? I ended up in a cycle 3 months later. It really sucked too. It was a bad one. Of course I was still married and well she was about as hepful as a beer in cycle. My doctor used to give me codine for the night headaches. Not that they really did much put knock mne out and take a little of the edge off. At any rate my ex used to eat them like candy and by the time I went tot take one they were history and I would have to go through half a week of CHs without any meds at all. It created a couple of discussions between y ex and. I started smoking again and have seen no change. I can't smoke while danicng with the beast but after it seems to help a little.

I have to add my 2 cents worth because..I just quit smoking 4 1/2 weeks ago after 20 yrs of smoking (with the help of the patch). I don't know if it will help with my CH's, somehow I doubt it.
PFDAN to you all..

Lori,
Congrats on quiting smoking. I know how hard it is. I did it about 1 yr ago.
I'm sorry to say it did nothing for me re:CH
They are still with me about the same as they were before I quit.
Some people have told me that quiting has helped them so hang in there.
Hopefully some PFDAN are in the future for you.

Hate to throw a stick in your spokes people, but smoking anything during a cycle for me = BAD NEWS !!
Cigarettes can bring on shadows and wacky tabachy can bring on a full on assault..
In the past, I would cease all smoking during a cycle...
