I am just now getting over a 2 1/2 week bout of bronchitis. Just wondering if any other cigar smokers have had experience with bronchitis and how long they waited to start again? The logical choice would be to NOT smoke, but dammit, I've got itch that I can't scratch!

In my expert opinion you should quit indefinitely and should send all your smokes to me, just a concerned botl wouldn't want the condition to get worse!o:)

Still hitting the albuterol inhaler in the mornings. After a 30 min. hacking session I'm clear for the day.

@jnichols HAHA, yeah all my precious smokes are on their way to your place. I'll send you a white owl lol.

@grmcooper Hell no! I'm not quitting!

I was just curious. The only stupid question is the one you don't ask.

I had bronchitis 11 years ago. I smoked cigarettes at the time. Seemed that was the only time I could breath okay was when I smoked. It took about a month or so to fully recover. Got it in August. A week off of work. I was on a few different meds, but no inhalers. Hubs and I started dating that September. I remember still hacking and how he said how "attractive" it was. LOL

Cigar smoking.... It still contains nicotine and will irritate the throat. So the coughing will hurt more if smoking. It took me longer to fully recover because of smoking. They told me not to and I didn't for the first week or two.

I came home from Europe the second week of July with the worst I had since I don't know when. I had my first cigar August first.

Took a long time to recover.

Man I had it bad, good luck.

Give it a couple of weeks after you no longer have any symptoms. I came down with walking pneumonia after returning from a business trip to Asia in early April. I didn't fully recover until Mid May despite two rounds of different anti-biotics. Needless to say, I was cigarless until that was over.

Came down with a head cold last Sunday and it's not gone yet. Luckily this cold hasn't gravitated to my chest and lungs, which is normally where these things usually hit me first. No cigars for me this week.
