bingo!! oh my high is right on, smoking weakens your immune system thus rendering you more susceptible to the cold and other flu symptoms. You could even get pneumonia like oh my high said. The best thing you can do for yourself is quit for a few days or even a full week, or just cut back quite a bit. It sucks but you will be able to smoke sooner than if you smoked during your illness. Just think of it like a drug test where smoking is not an option what so ever, you'll get through it.
