I dont think i know anyone with a mental illness who dose not smoke and drink coffee. I dont have many things of which Im in control of. My meds. tell me when I can get up and when I can go to sleep My bipolar tells me what I can do and where I can go that day and how I should feel wether I like it or not .But smoking i control do i smoke one or 3 pack its my choice .

I completely understand what you are saying. I used to think that way too, but when the cigs. started to make me cough all the time, I could not avoid thinking of the damage I am doing to myself. 'Cause cigs. give people cancer and I don't know if I could be one of them. That's something I would not like to experience. And as you say it, you control if you smoke 1 or 3 packs, I wish I could say I control if I smoke or don't. I prefer don't!
