bad cough

[Antcurt]

I have a very bad cough I think it might be in the thc that I smoke 10 reefers a day I know it’s wrong but what am I to do?

Perhaps go to the doctor and ask for support to quit them.There are long term implications of smoking dope as well of course as tobacco

[Patk1]

Yes,very likely. The best advice is to stop.but its your choice x

Try Narcotics Anonymous. They have a program that will help you to stop. There are groups all over the country, and all the members have experienced what it's like to give up a street drug. To find out more, visit ukna.org/

Make some "special" cake

Hi, just wanted to say that it sounds like you have not yet reached a decision as to whether to stop smoking or not. Like you I carried on smoking until I realized it would precipitate a rapid decline in my lungs health. If you are hooked on thcwhy don't you make the transition to enjoy cannabis tea? It's a lovely buzz and really help with pain and all sorts. Try getting more information and help as we all need it. Good luck

I was regular smoker pipe and roll ups, I eventually gave up after switching to a vape for a while, but I did have a good incentive as I was coughing fresh blood. Smoking made me cough and bouts of coughing triggered bleeds, a good scare is a good incentive to stop

Loads of good advice above Antcurt. I would really want to persuade you to quit. I smoked a lot of cannabis in my 20s and have read how implicated this in development of copd. Resin is worse of course as sticky. For the first time ever from a medical person, my new consultant asked me if I had used cannabis - they mostly don't, maybe because they think patients will be offended.

Think about setting a quit date and make some cake, tea, as suggested above, to lessen withdrawal. Get support from family friends or your community and go for it. Please think about this as your lungs will only deteriorate if you continue. Good luck

I'm nearly 82, and I smoked from age 20 til I was 45. It was a bad cold or flu that stopped me, as when I took my first draught of smoke it almost stopped me breathing. So, it was either oxygen or nicotine. Tried a week later and the same thing happened, so have never lit up since. Anyway, even at 45 it was too late and the damage had been done. As I was born in 1941, my lungs were subjected to my family's smoking, and the smog of coal fires and industry. And of course it was a "cool" thing to be a smoker. In my first job as an apprentice draughtman, I can remember looking across the office and seeing a smoke haze hanging under the ceiling. At that time I wasn't a smoker, as I could see what it had done to my dad, and used to go on at him to stop. But it had got him, and he died of heart failure brought on by ruined lungs, as it did certainly for 2 out of 5 of my siblings. A lot of whether smoking is going to be the thing that puts you in your box is in your genes, so if your family history indicates it, you'd best stop. It's difficult to kick, but keep trying.
