Hi Crizzy, my son smokes regularly. Not sure if its good for him or not. As a mom I can't see the benefits or the helpfulness. He is just starting his journey. We aren't able to get into his neurologist until January so we have no one to ask about it. So far it seems like trying to get answers to all our questions is going to be very non existent. Hope you find your answers.
