Gave it all up, cigs, alcohol, weed, after diagnosed BP at age 61 or so. Psychiatrist told me it all could interfere with my medications. I had to improve my life, my marriage, by making changes which improved my everything. Weeks before up in Canada, I had been partying like crazy with all that stuff. Nuxalk Indians (pronounced new hawk) I hung around stayed stoned and drunk at the camp, or at least the two I was with. Wellbutrin (spelling is wrong) was be best stuff to stop smoking tobacco. May also have helped with pot too.
