Trigger Mike Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 I’m trying a metabolic solution for my diabetes where they injected insulin and vitamins. Today was my first treatment and a guy beside me said he stopped smoking in December and lost energy and made his diabetes worse as smoking adds b12 and other b vitamins to your body. I knew a lot of hyper chain smokers and wondered if that is why they are hyper. Wonder if my cardiologist would agree I need to try that. meanwhile I had to take my diabetes medication afterwards despite it but will try next week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe LaFives #5481 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 You're a couple of days late. April Fools is the First not the third. No way does smoking add ANY vitamins to your body. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypress Sun Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Start smoking tobacco products to improve your health? No offense, but that's the dumbest thing I heard all week. Smoking tobacco will NOT help with diabetes or any other medical ailment. I'm not a medical professional but I smoked two packs+ of cigarettes for 45+ years...they have ZERO beneficial qualities to your health. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Somebody is yanking your chain, old son. I smoked 2-3 packs a day for about forty years. I quit 24 years ago and the only problem I had (knock on wood) was a 30 pound weight gain....which I have now overcome. Smoking is the slowest way I know to commit suicide. BTW, I was hyper and stayed hyper until my body just told me I was too old to be a kid any more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dantankerous Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Cigs have more chemicals in them than tobacco anymore. Just like fast food has more chemicals than food anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only drink Don Julio 70 that a friend brings me from Mexico. It is not just Tequila, it is amazing. Otherwise tequila can be a very, very bad idea. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trigger Mike Posted April 4 Author Share Posted April 4 Guess it’s good I’m too cheap to buy cigarettes. I recall when in Iraq most of my men smoked newports and during a moment of stress they gave me one a few times while there and I did get a good buzz from the menthol. I could see why folks get addicted but I dropped it once there was a ceasefire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokin Gator SASS #29736 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 When I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, thankfully in remission now, the doctor commented that smokers have less of a percentage of UC diagnosis then non smokers. But of course he didn't recommend taking up smoking. Other then a rare cigar I never was a smoker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgavin Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 OP, time to man up and face the facts: you are insulin resistant and cannot eat carbs without dire results. You will have to be content with steaks, prime rib, pork chops, ribs, eggs, cheese, whole milk, half-half or cream in your coffee. No more cereals, no more grains, no more potatoes, rice, no more cookies, cakes and pies. If you can hunt it down, pick it off a bush or laying on the ground, yet can eat it. If you have to cultivate it... nope. If you go on a carb bender, you will find it takes about 4~5 DAYS of keto to strip all those carbs from your system. Your glucose meter will hate you for a week until you finally drain out. You will become an intimate partner with the needle, and it still isn't enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A pack a day is $270 a month which is a motorcycle payment (a quicker way to die) :0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyesa Horg Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 (edited) Or buy a bag of tobacco and a couple cartons of tubes. The rolling machine for $40. Less than a $1.00 a pack and no chemical additives. Not counting the machine! Edited April 4 by Eyesa Horg Otto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-BAR #18287 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 How long can you hold your breath? In addition to being one heartbeat away from death, you are also one inhalation away from death. Putting anything into your lungs other than clean air is never a good idea. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squish Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 I’m pretty sure if there were ANY medical benefits we’d have heard about it in an advertising campaign long ago! I still remember when they told us cigarettes were not addictive and even that was a stretch at the time. As I light up another American Spirit… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
