The best you can do is inform people about known risks and benefits, as best as you can. For instance, I smoke, and I know that it’s bad, but I do it anyway because I know that I’ll enjoy life more than the years that I will lose.
I quit smoking several years ago and started putting in the work to repair my cardiovascular system. The overall improvement to my wellbeing and state of mind cannot be overstated. I gained far more than I lost. My only regret is not doing it a lot sooner.
Same here
you have no idea how shit your body and mind feels because of smoking. Your baseline when smoking is way lower than when you have a healthy cardiovascular system. Imagine climbing 10 flights of stairs without going out of breath. Running 10km daily without it showing. Living past 65 without carrying an oxygen tank.
Still worth every puff. I don't want to climb stairs or run 10 km. I want to sit peacefully on my balcony and smoke.
