In reply to SMOKING while on these cocktails - how bad?, posted by Janelle on July 16, 2001, at 19:54:23
If you went through the hassle of giving it up, don't start again. I smoke, have had "successful" periods not smoking (for 3 or so months) on 3 different occasions.
As far as the effect of smoking, my pdoc said that I would probably need higher doses of meds because of it. And I've been told it seriously depletes your vitamin C. To avoid as much damage as possible, take vites that fight free radicals.
I'll keep fingers crossed that you don't start again.
