Cigars and Pain

[bruceolee]

I know i've said this before but cigars help me with my pain. I just came back from my pain specialist and the one thing i forgot to speak with them about was how much cigars help me take less medication every day. I live with a lot of chronic pain all the time but I've found myself completely forgetting to take meds while smoking a cigar. I know the usual healthcare worker motto of "all smoking is bad" but have you noticed relief from pains while smoking or is it just me? it's possible i'm just crazy but something tells me otherwise. What says you? I hope you're having a blessed and great day! God bless you all!

Not sure about the pain part Jason, when I smoke it does make the annoying voices go away for awhile though.....my wife hates cigar smoke :)

If I put the red end in my mouth the pain increases.

Phrasing??

There's a obvious social and psychological relief cigars bring but i'm more interested in the physical relief one gets while enjoying a nice cigar. I've heard of cannabinoids in medical marijuana (which i do not take) but there must be some chemical function within tobacco (tobaccinoids?) that helps because it helps me for certain

Maybe vitamin N helps with pain.

I'm usually sipping whiskey when I'm having a cigar, and I know that helps my pain. :D

I don’t have the same issue with chronic pain, but I have noticed the relief of pain when I have finished a cigar.
