I would think the most obvious danger is our inability to cough. I've never met a long-time smoker that didn't develop a nasty cough -- my dad, for one. I can't imagine the possible agony of that scenario.
Im curious what the natural dangers or the added effects on your quad body are? Before my accident id smoke cigars from time to time…..

No one, including me needs to tell you the natural dangers or the added effects on your quad body from smoking. Your doctor and nurse have covered that already. What you need from us is understanding and support in your efforts to achieve your goals.
