I stay in shape by going to the gym religiously, running in this arid weather, and playing basketball, but I smoke a pack and a half a day. A couple weeks ago, I decided to cut back on smoking to just under a pack a day. I didn't feel any better. In fact, I felt worse. For the first time, I started developing a smoker's cough. It freaked me out so I tried to quit cold turkey. Shortly after, I caught the flu and I was miserable.
Now I'm back to smoking a pack a day and I feel great. What the hell is going on? |

I would get out of any mindset you have that the cigarettes keep you from feeling sick. For smokers, and especially those with acute bronchitis, the winter is prone to bring about sicknesses that we are more susceptible to.
