I am so grateful for this forum. Everytime I come here I get inspiration. I am an addicted smoker. I have smoked for 40 + years. Today, I complete my 3rd chemo treatment and 3rd week of radiation. Treatments have created DRAGON TONGUE and SMOKING irritates an already bad situation. But, I continue to smoke. I can no longer smoke a complete cigarette, just a couple of puffs and I have my fix for a while. My smoking has decreased from 2+ packs a day to only 3 or 4 cigarrettes a day. But still I smoke.... The taste of a cigarette is revolting to me, But still I smoke..
