Snusing whilst having Pneumonia.

[Mdisch]

The title sort of explains the entire thread.
Does snusing influence my Pneumonia(negatively), or is it safe to use? The doctor told me to lay of the cigarettes for as long as I have any sort of lung disease, so I started snusing quite a bit more - does anyone know if I should just go cold turkey or if it's okay?

You should be fine. The issue with smoking is the smoke I think. I can't think of any way the nicotine would negatively affect pneumonia.

^^^^^This

but in the end......... if this is a serious concern of yours......... you will want to ask your doctor

If it's a bacterial pneumonia (which is less likely), viral ones are more predominant... then tobacco has some anti-bacterial properties. (you should use snus).

Smoking is not recommended though.

I'm suffering from the a bit harsher bacterial pneumonia - So I guess I should just keep snusing ;-) That's all I wanted to hear.

Edit : Also the medicine is pretty hardcore so I don't care about anything anymore :P

you should take care mate, and antibiotics are a must :-)

But yes, snus is great during this period, hope it clears up quickly

I'm currently feeling a lot better - Seems the array of drugs is kicking in. And the snusing helps me keep my cool, and oddly enough the snus seems to cure the dizziness

I hope you continue to improve and are through the worst of it............get better mate!!!

Keep getting better! Your lungs will thank you for just using snus!

A little late to post now but for future nicotine slows down the healing process when your body is sick.

Glad to hear you are feeling better!
