Does it help at all? Would it worsen thangs? I'll probably do it anyway but just wondering.

The problem with the flu and the common cold is that you can get complications, which can vary from very unpleasant (bacterial sinus infaction) to potentially lethal (pneumonia)
Smoking herb or tobacco is a great way to increase your risk of upper airway infections but also of the acutely dangerous pneumonia.
Don't smoke with a cold or the flu and dont use drugs, like MDMA, which cause significant immunosuppression immediately after use.

Yeah I swear I only smoke like once a week now but I'm really itching for a toke. I'm just going to go at it and suffer later on

Once I took E while I had bronchitis and I felt 100% better. I could breathe and felt nice.
Smoking on the other hand seems wasteful to me, when I'm sick. I don't feel like I get high. Idk must be the congestion doing that.

for me i get high
but the act is smoking is just so unpleasant when sick...coughing so bad and its just not even fun...but like 5 minutes after im done smoking i do feel high and better...but it really wont help you get better at all, just make you sick longer
im stupid, but oh well

I'm definitely high and I didn't cough at all. This got me eating a bit and in a better mood, although I feel like it may have strengthened my fever. Don't think I'll do it again while I have this flu, but so far it's pretty nice

Edibles help I usually smoke when I'm sick but that's cause I usually smoke, haha. I get stoned and it makes being sick less noticeable and easier to deal with. My cough will stay longer though haha

Yeah edibles are probably best. Being stoned distracts from the annoyance of the symptoms which is nice, but I've had bad experiences with smoking heavily through colds and flus. Hard to say cause and effect for sure but I have ended up with a persistent hacking cough lasting for weeks on end after doing this.

Edibles, vaping, tiny bong rips 
I can't really understand how toking can cause a higher change of infection.

Smoking weed while I'm sick like that is like smoking with the highest possible tolerance. I get high very little, but I do anyways
It's probably because my lungs aren't working the same. When I smoke I get a lot higher than the people around me because I have superman lungs. I've smoked a whole gram in a bowl once and didn't even cough. There was probably a slicks worth of rez on my lips though. Fucking gross dude.

Best to hold off on the smoke until you can get over the Flu and/or cold.

I don't give a damn about what any of you have to say. Being sick is bad enough as it is, there is absolutky no way I would ever add in not smoking weed on top of that. No thank you, fuck that.
If you wanna feel better, smoke weed!

I don't remember where but i read that if you smoke all the time and stop when you are sick it makes it worse because youre body and immune system are used to being high so keep on puffin.. also you may make your cough last longer or get bronchitus though that could happen anyway.

When sick, I am sick right now. I think it's a bad cold though.
some cough medicine helps, and some of the properties of weed like it's expectorant properties seem to help
it's a bitch though, coughing wise. I seem to get just as high, but I still gotta nurse the shit, and can't smoke until like 25 minutes after Zicam® that I have in adundance
also what the other guy said about smoking being not good, I don't think it helps, but I am kinda strong immune wise and do other things, so it can KINDA help...

it gets too cold here sometimes to just go with a sweater
I have been severely bundled up before. When the cold just hurts you wear something over your face, on your head, and then you wear two jackets, well at least i curb shobbed a hobo jacket that is so big and it's hooded (with a face velcro for extra face warmth) you can wear a jacket underneath it, and then even some sweaters and long sleeve shirts, and two to three sets of thin gloves, and maybe mittens being the top layer. The kind with fingers and the mit thing over it too, or at least really warm ones
