I had the horrible influenza - question inside?!

Question: I had the horrible influenza - question inside?

About 11 days ago I got that horrible flu that was going around. I lost 20 pounds in 9 days from not eating; it was baaad. a couple days ago I started getting energy back but all of the sudden my rib cage has been in sooo much pain. It hurts to cough, yawn, etc. I smoke, and I haven't smoked this whole time because of this sickness. I'm still in a little pain, and I guess my question is would it be okay to smoke a cigarette or pot today, or would that just not be smart at all? I don't have a breathing problem - I'm just sore from days on end of coughing and throwing up. What would you advise?

Answers:

OMG! I wish I was in your position right now! haha! Sorry not the sick part but I would love to have that choice right now ( to smoke or not to smoke!!) I also had the flu and i think it took so long to get over it cause i did smoke and my lungs were working over time, what my heart probably went threw, I am lucky to not have had a heart attack,coughing the way i was. If I had the choice I would quit cause you haven't smoked in 10 days and i bet your lungs are thanking you! But the choice isn't mine so If you do smoke i would give it a couple more days, you probably have scaring on your lungs from the flu,and the lungs takes longer to recuperate from the trauma. Good Luck and Feel Better!!
