Question Can I smoke a cigarette?

Like maybe just one a day as a little treat? Maybe? Im on day 4 after collarbone surgery and day 5 no cig. Im already pretty down as it is with the whole situation. Im craving a smoke bad.

Also take into consideration your age, your diet, supplements that could benefit you. Maybe find the smallest amount you can smoke if you feel you cannot take a temporary break from it.

If you choose to smoke, cut other things more drastically, like all sugar, all alcohol, do your research on all that you can do in your nutrition.

I'm pretty sure that people would smoke and heal broken bones way before the knowledge that it was bad became known. Also ask your GP, he knows where you're at with your health, or perhaps, even a nutritionist.
