smoking improves my vision?
ok so im 18 and been a smoker for a few months or so..i use to wear contacts and now back to glasses due to contact problems and cost..for some reason when i smoke my left eye can see more clearly then the right pretty significantly..honestly this puzzles me very much especially since i have bad vision and then if i smoke, my eye can almost see clearer then if i were wearing glasses..i was wondering if anyone ever had something happen in the same category or if maybe something in the cigarettes is somehow temporaily giving me better vision? thanks

Maybe give some free advice about: Health?
The chemicals in cigarettes can harm the most sensitive part of the retina, called the macula.
Your vision can be irreversibly damaged when cells of the macula die or tiny blood vessels burst through it.
So in all honesty I doubt smoking is improving your vision. Of course they could be hiding that info were it true. God forbid they should say cigarettes do anything helpful. :)

This is probably not what you want to hear... But I'm going to say it anyway... Just because I am a smoker and I understand just how idiotic smoking is...
It doesn't matter if smoking improves your vision or not. Put the cigarettes down while you still can. Otherwise, you're just going to continue smoking and it's going to reak havoc on the rest of your body later. Smoking isn't just bad for your lungs. It's bad for your entire body. It affects your heart, inscreases your risk of heart disease, heart attacks, strokes, cancer... And it's bad for your teeth.
So my advice is... Quit smoking and go see an eye doctor. You should be able to afford a doctor with all the money you'll be saving on the cigarettes you aren't buying.
