HEllo, Simple question, how many of you smoke cigarettes? I am not here to lecture you, cause I do it too. No lectures please, cause I know it it terrible especially for thyroid sufferers. Just curious to know how many of you smoke, thats all. Thanks.
BTW, The Thyroid Solution says if one smokes, that until the thyroid is rebalanced, NOT to try to quit, as it creates unecessary stress. Wait til at the optimal thyroid dose and one is feeling well.

I used to smoke, but I quit a year ago. I had read on about.com what Tree Frog mentioned, so before I quit I got my thryoid levels tested and they were fine. Then shortly after I quit smoking thats when my thryoid and symptoms went haywire, and I knew to get tested for thyroid imbalance. Sure enough my levels were really high. If you do quit make sure to monitor your levels more often.
Take care,
