Vipul Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Hello, Been a smoker for the last 35 years. It's the only vice I have still not given up. Is there any evidence to suggest that giving up on smoking would benifit a cluster headache sufferer? Has anyone benefitted here on this forum from quitting smoking? I used to be episodic but seem to have turned chronic. Have only had a couple of days off in the last 6 months. Would love to know. Lots of love.

BoscoPiko Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 I don't think there is any solid evidence that it helps. While it would benefit you in other ways I don't believe it would do much to help with CH. I quit a few years back by using the juul and gradually lowering the nicotine. Did noda for my CH. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bejeeber Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 I've seen many others report much the same as @BoscoPiko on this subject. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiny Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 I quit 3 years ago and it did not help at all. None of my research supports the idea that quitting would help, but it did state that a higher percentage of CHers smoke than the general public. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snafu Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 was a smoker for almost 20 years, haven't touched a cigarette in over 12. didn't do jack sh*t for my ch. what i personally suspect is: if you have won the genetic lottery and are a ch "candidate" it's best not to start smoking at all. once you have "the damage is done". makes no difference if you quit or not. but that's just a very personal opinion and not a fact that can be proven. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vipul Posted October 31, 2022 Author Share Posted October 31, 2022 Thanks for your inputs. And if it's not going to help, I'm not going to be tough on myself then:) Love and regards Vipul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
81007 Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Cigarette smoke contains carbon monoxide. It can't good for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
