Did Quitting Smoking Help Your HS?
I’ve got an appointment to help me quit smoking coming up. Just wanted to hear others opinions on the matter. According to my dermatologist, when I questioned possible triggers, she snapped at me, “I told you this is an auto immune disorder, just stop smoking”
Now I know smoking probably doesn’t help, but I am convinced my triggers are hormonal and stress related. I do not feel heard by her, hopefully next appointment is with a different doctor
I quit smoking for five years. It never made a difference
My primary care Dr had no idea. Always wanted to give me antibiotics. After awhile they stopped working and I was at my wits end. Thank God I found a Dr that knew exactly what it was and treated me accordingly!
I quit smoking for 4 months now and if anything it’s been worse. But I definitely recommend quitting smoking anyway. I’ve been smoking 25 years and I can tell a difference in my overall health for sure.
Hailey......I smoked for 57 yrs......although I tried quitting for about 20 yrs. I can tell you that you cannot quit til you are ready......I have tried all quitting methods, and even went to a couple courses they offer here, where they give you stuff to help you quit! Champix is how I quit, but it was the 3rd time I tried it, before it worked. One of the things that was close to making me quit was a book that's out, I think it's call How To Stop Smoking, and I believe written by Allan Carr......it gives you a total different thought process about smoking that really makes you think!
Well Richard, there is no doubt it is better to quit.....when I started it wasn't a bad thing!
