smoking tobacco.
it's bad. i don't smoke as much as i used to. it does affect your wind, and of course your health.
i'm not proud of this, it's one of my failings.
so, yes: it does have negative consequences, on many levels.
there are no magic solutions. just quit, or don't start.
once, i quit for a number of years. i woke up one morning and thought "doing this enables me to *not* follow what i really want to do." that worked for a number of years. it was an epiphany i hope to recapture.
many of us have self-destructive habits which are hard to shake.
if you don't smoke, then don't start. if you do, then i hope you find a way to stop.
this is just my honest response...not meant in a moralistic sense at all (i hate that). but if you can avoid it, do.
if my post prevents one person from smoking, it's worth it. even though i do. at least today. that may change.
best to all...
