jacktarnold Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I've got sleep apnea and snore like a freight train if I don't wear my CPAP when I sleep. So for me it doesn't matter if I smoke or not. Although before I had CPAP I would routinely get a punch in the arm for waking my wife up with my snoring every night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knopper Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 normally I snore only a little bit some times but when I drink beer ,its like a train.In this case I have to change my sleeping place.Only smoking cigars or cigarettes and by drinking rum or whisky -nothing happens.Funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexvero Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I very rarely snore but my gf tells me that I tend to snore when I have had a couple/few drinks. According to her I never snore after smoking a cigar or more that day, unless I have coupled them with alcohol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLC Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Same as most, if I have a few drinks or sleep on my back I snore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanislaw Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 I love this forum so much... Lots of honest and often funny answers..... Well, that's another thing to consider: alcohol.... That could definitely have an affect.... My curiosity is getting the best of me and I actually gave my doctor a call to ask his opinion.... He's very straightforward and says tobacco does have an influence but not nearly as much as weight gain.... Then he reminded me I've gained weight since last year.... I asked him about cigar girth and if that would have an affect and his answer is a fascinating one: If you have to open your mouth wider to smoke, your entire throat opens up more as well, which could mean the smoke coats more of the throat and could possibly slip into the lungs accidentally versus a cigar that's smaller.... This could cause irritation that could promote snoring.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGC Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Alcohol, tobacco, weight gain, and natural physiology of your airways all contribute to snoring. I've always been a mouth breather and snorer since youth. Sleep apnea became an issue, when I wasn't aware of it. Working 12 hour shifts for weeks straight, while living on the road, eventually caught up to me. An accumulation of everything led to issues with depression as well. I know have a CPAP and don't like sleeping w/o it. It's been proven that sleep apnea will cut down on your life expectancy. Heavy snoring should not be taken lightly. You don't have to be overweight to snore either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoreanCowboy Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I only snore if I'm exhausted. My wife has never heard me snore , so she says but my dog snores like crazy! Wakes me up a couple times a week. But I love him so I just bump him and he quits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimmers Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 The less I weigh, the less I snore. These days, I only snore when I have a lot of alcohol. that's me as well. No snoring at all now (cigars no effect), unless (rarely) boozing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fosgate Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 That used to be me. Only snore when fatigued, sleep study initially found nothing and it progressively got worse. Couple times a month I would snap awake and occasionally it felt like the veins in my shoulders and arms were burning and that's when the found it. I wouldn't have gone if I hadn't ran into a old friend who has sleep apnea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fingerburner Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Some very honest answers here creating positive awareness for others. Bravo. Apparently I snore a bit when I drink (most nights) but wifey informed me the other week of my apparent sleep apnea which scared the crap out of me to be honest.
