Smoking when you’re sick.

sick_smoker So now and again it happens, you get ill & did I forget to mention that well you smoke a lot ganga ontop of this. People at this point can go many ways, like pointing at their addictions and say “That’s why i got ill, I smoke too much!” Others blame a cold, or a viral infection which is usually more the likely story.  So in this tale of recollection it happened to me, yeap straight after my birthday I got a nasty flu.  I had fever which made no sense, and  it took me about a week to recover from it all, to which until then I’d went to go a doctor.  He diagnosed with a chest infection and gave me a week course of antibiotics.  Throughout this whole period I had not smoked any weed or touched anything as i was pretty fucked anyway.

CAN YOU SMOKE IF YOU HAVE A CHEST INFECTION

So you’ve just been told by your doctor that you’ve got a chest infection. Can you smoke? Smoking a dubee which may give you some temporary comfort, but will ultimately set your recovery back is the sad truth. Smoking could also temporarily greatly worsen your cough – to some not a huge deal but it sure wont help.  Now there are alternatives being edibles like space cake, etc and vapourising. Smoking through a chest infection can often mean the cough you have last for so much longer, and longer! Many do try and getting through the week by without smoking many cos they cough their lungs out.

I’VE BEEN COUGHING ALL WEEK WHAT SHOULD I DO?

Medical DoctorA lot of people don’t believe in signs, but maybe you should open yourself up to the possibility that your body is trying to tell you something.  If you’re coughing that much and coughing out different coloured flems, then you definitely have a infection of some sort and you should stop smoking IMMEDIIATELY!! I’m no doctor, but that’s what my doctor told me and i’m guessing any half qualified doctor would tell you.

AN OPPORTUNITY TO QUIT FOR A WHILE

Then there’s that, but not smoking i.e not able to smoke by choice you are infact by passing your self discipline and being forced to quit for a bit.  During my ill period I got fed up of watching episodes of Big Bang Theory, and being imprisoned in my room so I joined by boys for a little smokey session, a decision which was a complete disaster! OK, so we did our ritual rolling etc, and then went out to smoke the splifs, however unfortunately  when the dubee got passed to me, I took a few drags and I coughing like a BITCH!!! Uncontrollably I was coughing soo hard I could hear my echo coming back at me from the trees, so I passed it on.  At this point nobody said anything, until I was passed the joint again, and now it was double as force as before, the guys were like “dude, you shouldn’t be smoking you’re ill man”.

I GET BY WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS

FriendsRight they were! I was too ill to be smoking weed!! During my chest infection, for some reason my ribs felt like Floyd Mayweather had been sparring on them, i.e. they hurt like hell!! So asked around to my friends if anybody had this, or knew what the hell it was, and as I’d expected nobody had a clue.  Well I say that, but they all became experts and starting tell me their coughing rib stories AFTER I GOT BACK FROM THE DOCTOR WHO EXPLAINED TO ME THE WHOLE THING! Thanks for being so useless friends, but generally they’re just there to keep you busy from being productive.  Of course, after I’d done my googling,.. all my friends where full of stories.. “YEAHHH I had that…” , in my mind thinking we had this same conversation last week and you knew nothing?? anyway… when your friends are telling you to stop smoking weed, that’s a extreme in my book it’s probably a good idea to quit.
