mini-survey here says that quitting smoking does squat for relieving cluster headaches. I have to add my vote, quit 8 wks ago(clusters decided to have a second go out of cycle on me: had quick 6 week session in June. came back in August. Still here, and no change.)
For me, psychologically, or physically, smoking relaxed me and made the pain less intense.
What ever you choose,(to quit or not) don't feel guilty cause you smoke, it makes no difference to your head. In the long run however, it will make you feel a hell of a lot healthier....So ends my pep talk for the century, has someone got a smoke, I'm dying here!
God Bless!
