True! Though for me, quitting smoking or not is probably the only time I really accept bipolar and doctor advice on the subject. Yep, that's right, I've got a disorder! I can smoke all I want and avoid quitting since the stress is too much

I've actually been advised not to quit before! Not don't ever quit but, maybe later instead! When my life isn't so "stressful"...well it always is! Maybe I make it that way but, it is!!

Apparently my moods are worse than increased risk of cancers, heart disease, strokes and all other unpleasant and less than interesting deaths! Sure doc, if that means one less anti-smoking lecture...one less thing to feel like crap about....FINE! I've got bipolar! I'll smoke.

Or maybe these doctors who have said these things are just trying to kill me off early, before I develop dementia, imagine the strain that a bipolar and senile person causes to the tax payer?
