produts used
8 swisher sweets cigars
2 packs of kool filter kings

day 1:
1 cigar.

really hard to smoke on day 1.  I found it hard to breathe for a short while, but returned to normal after 20 minutes.  no change in ability to sing after that.

day 2:
1 cigar

I found it a bit easier to smoke.  not really any different from day 1

day 3:
2 cigars.
found it a bit harder to take in the right breath, given it was starting to hurt to even swallow.  so I could not get enough breath, so performance was somewhat lacking from a professional standpoint.

day 4:
2 cigars.

lot of strange sounds while breathing.  sounds like as if I had an infection in my lungs(mucous buildup).
couldn't sing without fluid getting in the way.  bit of blood when a coughed from coughing fit earlier.(maybe I shouldn't have done this study...but I'm going to detoxify myself after this).

day 5:
2 cigars
same as day 4.

day 6:
4 cigarettes.

menthols are a bit strange.  felt like my lungs were crystalizing...by this point, hard to keep air moving a bit.

day 7:
half pack.

my goodness, it's near impossible to even play piano and sing.  energy was dropping without tobacco. needless to say, rehearsal sucked.

day 8:
rest of pack 1.

I was too tired to go practice.

day 9:
1/4 pack

migraine from hell.  just practiced piano.

day 10:
1/4 pack

hurt to breathe.
bit more blood(I'm gonna get an evaluation from my doctor next week)

day 11:
half pack

finally out.  couldn't sing worth crap.  

today:
withdrawal.

ugh...no more cigarettes, but still irritable.  even a pause with music on my cd aggravated me to high hell.
coughing like crazy still.  bit of blood here and there.

overall:
smoke clings to your body.  felt really dirty those 11 days.  also really painful(may be my body's personal reaction).

singing and smoking don't go together, as I have proven.  wish I had taped it...coulda made a mean buck or two.

You've blown my fucking mind with that shocker.

Maybe I should do a study on whether or not having no legs can affect your ability to successfully use a pogo stick.

AMERICAN IS PIG DISGUSTING

I can officially say that I know that people who smoke couldn't make it without a well balanced diet and exercise, which would still have to be extreme.

call it stupid, but I don't see anyone else taking the time(and health risk) to prove a point here.  seems to me most just stand on the coat tails of others(just repeating what they hear and try to sound as if they know a thing or two).

I'll tell you what, I'm not gonna sit around smug and safe, and then pretend I know what is good because someone told me.
I'm gonna test theories and facts.
