Smoking with a chest infection?

Hey all!
Basically, I have a terrible cold and a chest infection. My head feels like it's going to explode and I'm aching all over. The obvious thing that came to my head after the pain killers didn't work was weed, but I have a chest infection.
Would having a joint cause me any more damage to my lungs than if I didn't have a chest infection?
Thanks for any responses people! :rasta:

The irritation from the smoke will probably make you feel worse.....make some cookies.

^^ not too bright man...you shouldnt smoke even tho everyone does...the smartest thing you could do would be to ingest some edibles....make yourself a nice cake...or brownies/cookies....if you have to vape ...smoking will only make it worse dood

Well, you can always go for it.

I've been through a bad cold once and kept on vaping. The cough does get a little worse, but only while vaping. This is just me so be careful.

It did take me longer to get better compared to other colds but it all worked out.

If you can't stop coughing after taking a hit, STOP. And edibles looks to me like the best way to go without coughing.

Peace

I think I may just have a break, therefore I'm not taking any risk and my head will clear up.
I will have to try edibles because I have never actually given it a go and I have athsma so it would deffinatly be better for me. I can't afford a good vape at the moment, and I don't want to buy a cheap piece of rubbish.
Thanks for the advice guys!

edibles will be a pleasant surprise for you, enjoy them while your body is repairing itself. the smoke will still be there when you are back in good health.

I don't want to end up like a certain Michigan police officer and his wife so I'll do a bit of reading up on eating and give it a try. Sounds like it could be a nice change. Thanks for the suggestion!

i've had a rough chest cold all week and have been smoking ice-cold bong loads...i feel better after 3 days but most of the time smoking add an extra week to your fluish illness.

vape or eat. smoke will make things worse. I recommend some mullein as well to help clear out your lungs. get some leaves, pour hot water over them and inhale the vapors, or make tea with the leaves (but you have to steep it covered because the actives are very volatile)

hope you feel better. lots of garlic, lots of ginger helps too!
 
hey bro I usually hit up the vaporizer when I get sick, I dont feel like it makes you worse. smoking on the other hand will make it worse
