Hi Dejibo,

Thanks for your reply. I know Im going to have to give up. I can remember when I got my first MS symptom which was a tingling tongue I went and seen the Dr. Went my blood results came back she said all my symptoms along with the tingling tongue were from smoking.

I was annoyed to say the least, because I didn't think that was possible. I feel it could make me unhealthy but not cause all the symptoms I was having.

I am definately going to start the thought process of giving up and I will slowly cut down until I need them no longer.

Thanks for all your help.
