Smoking when you're sick (merged)

Smoking when you have any kind of illness that affects any part of your respiratory tract (including sinuses) is a terrible, terrible idea. It definitely increases your chances of getting bronchitis, and if you already have a predisposition to bronchitis, it virtually guarantees it. If you're the kind of person like me, who always gets bronchitis after any respiratory illness, smoking will extend your bronchitis for days to weeks. DON'T do it!8o
 
I had 3 buckets when i had bronchitis, plus im an athsmatic. I had a panic attack because i was so high and i had really bad athsma, i thought i was going to die from an athsma attack. I was torn between paranoia due to being so high and what was real. Im an experienced stoner so i new i was really high (was getting that 3D glasses vision) im also an experienced athsmatic so i was pretty certain ive had worse coughing episoded but it was hard to convince myself that i was ok against a giant tide of paranoia.

Yeah as much as you want to have a chong, if youve got bronchitis just put it of for a couple of weeks.
 
How about weed lowering your temperature? Would that be a good or a bad thing when you have a fever.

I do know that everytime I was sick with flu or something, weed allowed me to eat(otherwise I'd puke it right out), thus helping my recovering.
Once I couldn't hold a thing down for nearly 3 days, I had lost 4kilo's from sweating and shuddering and not eating. I smoked a joint the evening on the third day and I could eat again.
 
Shit, I still have a fucking cold, but not as bad as it was 2-3 days. I didnt feel like smoking weed watsover my 2nd day of the cold... but its my 5th day right now.. ima hit a line of chocha n pack a bowl... not a good idea? sniffing a line is bad enough with a clogged nose... im having 2nd thoughts lol
 
wow, you need to come here to ask this? I've got a clogged nose and I want it to get better, hmmm, maybe I'll put some cocaine up it! Genius!
 
Instead of wasting thread space, I used the search tool and found this, so....

I had a cold and a nasty sore throat for the past few days. I haven't smoked since the weekend before this past one, and haven't had a cig since Wednesday. My cold is pretty much gone, I do have somewhat of a tickle in my throat, some mucus, and my sore throat feels like it's almost completely healed - should be good tomorrow, anyways.

I'm not gonna smoke tonight (might have a beer or two), but anybody think it's cool to smoke cigs/weed tomorrow (not a lot, but you know, stuff to satisfy me)? And what about dip (the pouches, not the shit in your lip - I think it's called snus or something, not pure snuff, but you know, the pouches)?
 
Don't forget that THC has immunosuppresive qualities to some extent or another. I just usually don't consume cannabis at all while I'm sick.
 
I've smoked weed when I had a terrible cough, and it actually wasn't that bad. Didn't make me cough more than normal or anything. Cigarettes on the other hand felt like little shards of glass getting shoved into my bronchi :\
