Is there a "Tax Pro" in the house?

I did a quick search for this discussion (nuthin'), but here's my idea:

If I can get a doctor to recommend e-cigs as an NRT (or whatever), would my obsession then become a tax-deductible medical expense?

I file as a sole proprietor, and I will also run this by my accountant, I'm just wondering if anyone has tried this before.

What a great idea! Let us know if you can.

Now how do we get our doctors to prescribe a few glasses of wine in the evening?

"Even when recommended by a doctor, medicines available over-the-counter are not deductible."

Dang, I knew that rule but didn't make the connection. Thank you!
