my neuro said 99% of CHers smoke

I met a new quack neurologist today and he told me and clarified that medical research has indicated that about 99% of cluster sufferers use tobacco.
So, lets do a poll.
Please indicate whether you use tobacco of any kind, or if you do not.
I smoke.

I do, but trying to stop. Started because of CH, the late nights, the insomnia, the fear, the pain, the loneliness, something to do to take my mind of things and calm me down.
So, for me it is not a cause or a trigger(as some quacks imply).
For me it is a pacifier!

Your Neuro is an idiot. Maybe a majority, but not 99%.

Gee, I wonder why he didnt mention only men with orange peel skin and booze......what a fucking idiot!!
Ask him/her why 5 year olds get CH, ask him why I was chronic from the start at 12 years old.
Anyone else got any questions for this "So called doctor"?

I smoked until I was 34. Lemme see.... I began in 1963, got CH in 1969, quit in 1980 and my CH disappeared in 1991. It's all yours. Have fun 
Actually, I read here once that 47% of the board smoked. That is more than twice the national average. I suppose it should be looked into someday.

Man, i met this neuro cause my past 5 doctors in this system didnt know ANYTHING about CH. I was excited to meet a doc that possibly had more knowledge than me. But it didnt work out that way.
I am a first grader compared to the knowledge base on this board, but i am some sort of genius compared to medical doctors.
This neuro that i met today told me about prednisone, and cafergot, and lithium and a few more things that are old school. He laughed at me when i told him that Kudzu has helped many find relief. And when i asked him about LSA and psilocybin, he nearly pissed himself.
Oh, man, it was a waste of time, but he told me that he would have a script for prednisone ready if i need it for next cycle.
PF wishes

OH, PS, he told me that if you take more than 480 mg a day of verapimil, your heart would stop. He wasnt talking about me, he meant any person.
SO, another quick poll, according to this doctor's info, how many people here have died cause they took over 480 mg a day of verapimil ?
