Daily Nicotine Requirements according to blood type

[anothermagyar]

Interesting, I was just thinking about to reconsider my smoking or at least reducing it.

I don't get head aches though, just ones in the blue moon.

I have coughing problems in the morning, is anybody experiencing the same?

Nothing serious just annoying.

Btw, I'm blood type 0+.

I love to smoke, help me thinking a lot , when I'm at work, I can not smoke, so when I'm home, relax I smoke more.

Just re-reading this and find it interesting just about everybody who gave a blood type was "O" something.

Eh eh maybe it is because if you unite both O blood type you get almost half the population :D (45%)

Got this from wikipedia (France, _http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groupe_sanguin)

Groupe sanguin Répartition mondiale
Blood type global distribution
O + 38 %
A + 34 %
B + 9 %
O - 7 %
A - 6 %
AB + 3 %
B - 2 %
AB - 1 %

This one is from Wiki US ( _http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_type) :

(total population = 2,261,025,244)
36.44% O+
28.27% A+
20.59% B+
5.06% AB+
4.33% O-
3.52% A-
1.39% B-
0.45% AB
:P

I cough fairly often as well, and with mucus fairly often too. I'm wondering if I'm breathing in dust/ash when smoking the pipe (perhaps how I'm smoking?) because of black stuff in the mucus (sorry to be graphic). I've decided to not smoke for 3 days (starting yesterday) to see how I am when not smoking and how it affects my coughing and overall well-being.

Since I've been smoking Kentucky Select Organic and since it's cured with fructose-laden Agave syrup, I'm also wondering if it's the agave that's causing the coughing, so I'm going to try smoking a different tobacco variant instead of the KSO when I resume.

I'm A+ ;)

I smoke organic tobacco. I roll my own cigarettes with long rolling papers. 10 cigarettes per day.

when I smoked cigarette industrial, I had mucus fairly in the throat when the winter came.

Now I smoke organic tobacco with organic rolling papers and organic filter, mucus has been greatly reduced.

I'm A negative.

When I started smoking whole leaf tobacco about a month ago coughing dwindled to near zero. Before, using Kentucky Select and American spirit I would cough hard a few times right after getting in bed or bending over.

I find I get the nicotine hungers about an hour and a half after the last smoke. More so in the mornings. Nicotine brightens my mood, helps me to be clearer headed. Moments with my pipe are some of the highlights of my day.

O+, smoking for 30 years, 20 per day average (as low as 10 as much as 30). I get a bit of phlegm throughout the day (thickest in the mornings) but no cough. Could be attributed to smoking, but could also be dust, cat & dog dander, and just about any other allergen or toxin.

Switched to organic a while ago and doc now says, aside from a bit of raspiness, lungs sound clear - couldn't believe I smoke.

Thanks for the input, Foxx, Mac, Orange Scorpion and Gonzo! :)

I'm smoking cigars, Backwoods, it's natural tobacco.

The label says:

"We take all natural filler tobacco which is selected for mildness.
Then we rolled it in gentle-tasting Broadleaf, a dark tobacco that is aged for at least 12 month to bring out its naturally sweet taste
and pleasing aroma."

I like it and we buy it on-line around $3/package.
Each pack has 5 cigars.

AB+ ... Have smoked for 30+ years, 20 - 30 cigs a day for the past 20 years, and have no resulting health problems related to my choice to smoke. I smoke for enjoyment, stress relief, and more so when focusing/concentrating. I currently roll my own using organic tobacco.

Here is a study "Tobacco Smoking and Blood Group" published in the British Medical Journal November 9, 1963 that might lend to further insight into this topic: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1874089/pdf/brmedj02523-0059.pdf ... I had trouble finding any "recent" medical studies related to smoking and blood type.

I'm not so sure that there are "daily requirements of nicotine" in relation to the various blood types, I think it's rather a "listen to your own body" situation ... "What's good for the goose (me) may not always be good for the gander (you).

Speaking of smoking, here's a little song I would like to dedicate to all my fellow smokers here on the forum ... it was taught to me by a bootlegger, when I lived in Kentucky years ago, who sung it to me nearly every time I would drop by for a "visit" and light-up …

Smoke, smoke, smoke that cigarette
...
Smoked all my life and I ain't dead yet
...
Smoke, smoke, smoke that cigarette
Puff, puff, puff ‘til you smoke yourself to death
Tell Saint Peter at the Golden Gate
you just hate to make him wait,
but you gotta have another cigarette…

I was about 2 years without smoking because I thought it would be best for my asthma. At that time, do not take the inhaler at all. When they appeared to have stressful situations in my life, I needed to take the inhaler again.

After the course of Éiriú Eolas and reading research about tobacco, I started smoking again, and I suppose to make the body more acetylcholine, decreased stress and started down the use of the inhaler. I smoke about 6-9 cigarettes per day, if I exceed me hence I charge the lungs, but if you take into perspective, it's going very well.

You can easily solve this question by your body's own response/demand.

In other words, if I'm feeling OK, no matter if smoking 20 to 30 cigarettes w/o filter per day, it's fine, because following my own needs. Understood, Thanks Laura :).

Fwiw, if I was to smoke 20 to 30 cigarettes per day I would like to feel a lot more than OK. I would want to feel and notice benefits, e.g. in thinking and energy. Many years ago I did try smoking. It calmed and sharpened the mind, but I always ended up feeling very sick afterwards. Haven't tried organic tobacco though ;)

Indeed, it feels so sick sometimes, like nervous or anxious.

I smoke organic tobacco. I roll my own cigarettes with long rolling papers. 10 cigarettes per day.

I'm also blood type A+ and I smoke for a long time already now... 10 years maybe... Up to 20 per day, not more than that.

I've had sinusitis all my life which everybody thought was due to my smoking habits. I solved my sinusitis problems now by changing my diet. First, getting rid of dairy and gluten and detoxing... and now by following a PaleoDiet. :D

I've found that my allergies are almost always manifested as sinusitis so I get to know quite easily when I am allergic to some food. Dairy is just terrible for me!

Some days I probably smoke 30 - when I'm writing and burning up the acetylcholine. When I'm relaxing, a lot less. It really does help me to focus for long periods of time.

Indeed...

I never get to 30 but I certainly smoke a lot more when translating or reading what Laura writes! ;)

O -

Still experimenting and I'm undecided. I've smoked on and off all my life, mostly as a casual/ social smoker. I gave up when my diet was terrible and was having health problems. I was smoking pre-rolled cigarettes at the time.

I've switched to additive free tobacco, papers and roaches. I smoke more when at home relaxing but never more than 5 a day. I think sometimes it does give me headaches and makes me feel anxious but I wonder how much of this is psychological as I've believed the "it's dangerous and anti-social to smoke" manta all my life and it takes some beating. The other half doesn't like it so I smoke outside, though I wouldn't smoke inside even if I lived alone.

I do think it helps with my mental acuity and I do enjoy it but there are some things I don't like, such as the taste in my mouth afterwards and the smell on my hands etc.

Anyway, I'm just listening to my body and seeing how I feel. If I want one, I have one. If I don't, I don't.

Just wanted to add thanks to this forum for interesting me again in this subject and recommending additive free smoking. It is a world better than the nasty pre-rolled stuff!

It's perhaps also interesting to note that I've always smoked with alcohol but since I rarely drink now I've had to decouple the two.
