Oh this just be very hard for you.

I have not got pd but care for my husband who does have pd. I was a smoker and tried all sorts to stop, aquapuncture, hypnotherapy,patches etc with not much luck. Until Pete was diagnosed as having Pd and I realised I needed to give up smoking so that I could be fit enough to care for him and I did stop completly that was 18yrs ago. I used nicotine inhalers to help me and once the course was over i have never craved nicotine since where as other theapies I was always craving, whether this was psycological or shock treatment I do not know, keep off them if you can or seek medical assistance to put you back on track. Take care and good luck.xx

Hi I am an x smoker of three months. I was told I had PD five years ago but I had symptoms but doctors blamed everything else till I saw a new GP. I had to stop

smoking with the aid of a vapourisers and would recommend it, you can buy online the liquids you can get have a large amount of flavours and if like me you wanted to pack up, you can get varies amounts of nicotine. I cannot say smoking helped with PD but I think some of the medicines give you strange cravings mine is shopping on Internet. I still use the vapourisers with no nicotine as I do crave cigarettes still. .

I am 65 and have had PD for about 12 years. Twice now I have puemones sorry I cannot spell it, in the bottom of my right then left lung. I have smoked for 50 years, and was terrified of giving up. I started collecting different vapourisers. One day Ijust did it, I never told anyone just got on with it. I do not think I would have done it without the vapourisers and as I can really crave a cigarette the vapourisers really get me through. They do really help, If the cravings are bad, please don't smoke get a vapourisers, you can use Amarzon and liquids with no nicotine I am sure it will help good luck.

Always remember that a craving for a fagerette only lasts a short time.Perhaps for less than a minute. Let your mind just wander onto something more interesting and before you know it the craving , if only for now, has gone.
