Do you smoke/drink when you are sick?

[ElPuro]

Came down with a moderate cold the other day and debated whether to nonetheless have a drink/smoke. Does anyone else have that debate?

Nope, I have sensitive sinuses and I lose my sense of taste when I'm sick very easily, so it's a waste.

In my opinion never has been enjoyable or worth it in the end... despite the strong temptation.

Generally I will still smoke, although less.   Usually don't have the desire to drink when sick so no, don't drink when sick.

When both are daily sports l struggle through no matter my match fitness.

Yes I’m having a cold for a week now and smoked two cigars during these days.

tastes like crap, strong tobacco taste and nothing much else, can’t wait to light one up once all my taste comes back, looks like forever unfortunately 

wonder if some strong booze will help

[Colt45]

No.

[MahDooRow]

Add me to the "NO" list for the same reason already stated by others.  I can't taste much when my sinuses are all clogged up so it ends up being a waste of money and time.  

[rascalmonkey]

have had the flu (or something) the past 3-4 weeks & yes  that's much too long to go without bolivars

I don’t smoke when I’m ill but I will still drink. I do find a hot toddy good for getting rid of a cold/no longer caring about the symptoms! 

[Islandboy]

Can’t do it, everything tastes awful. Besides, no amount of cigars or booze will make me feel better - so I just soldier through the crap ‘till it’s over.

[PapaDisco]

No cigars, but a nip of whiskey seems helpful for most colds.

[Bsonwine]

1 part boiling water, 1 part whisky and a teaspoon of honey. It doesn’t cure the common cold but it does make it bareable. No smoking usually. 

[retrofail]

A nice hot toddy is the drink of the day when I’m ill. As far as smoking, I have a fair stockpile of regrettable NC purchases I’ll reach for. Gotta smoke ‘em eventually. ?

I will understand "sick" as flu or cold.

Smoke - never

Drink - sometimes

[GrouchoMarx]

Nope 

[TNT009]

Drink yes.... But lighting a cigar is a pure waste!

[Napa_Smokes]

Personally neither. I do understand a drink depending on what it is, it’s just not for me. Smoking anything is a waste, and typically makes me feel a lot worse. 

[cigcars]

       Being a teetotaler I don't drink liquor at all - as for my beloved stogies...I won't even open my humidor lest I spread those cold germs into that environment. I once had an order from the Czar which arrived just as I'd unfortunately caught the sniffles. I let those bad boys stay in the package untouched until I was fully recovered. Did not want to contaminate my stash with cold germs, period. And no - smoking is pointless during that period as I can't smell or taste anything. 

[Dozerhead]

If I am too sick to enjoy the cigar then I won't bother. I don't want to waste a potentially great smoke when I can't appreciate it properly. If it is a cold or sinus issue then definitely not since it will negatively affect the taste.

[maxcjs0101]

I seldom get Colds/Flu but sore throats quite often so no.

[shlomo]

Nope

[LGC]

Irritants are great for healing

[Raskol]

Nope.

It is a real waste to attempt to smoke with a cold.  A hot toddy is nice if you feel up to it.

On a better note.  I just had my flu shot Friday.
