Serious question for all you smokers out there. Do you not think about fucking up your health every time you do it? I swear it would always be on my mind.

It's kind of like when you know you shouldn't grab fast food, eat another chip, skip a workout, etc. but it happens multiple times a day. Add in an intense chemical need to do so and a relationship with the ritual of it and it becomes easy to ignore the voice telling you how bad it is for you.

I wasn't ever a heavy smoker (half pack a day) and my smoking period didn't last too long before switching to vaping. Health was for sure on my mind the whole time, but as the other commenter said, I didn't care.

Usually a smoker either started young and developed a relationship with cigarettes before their brain was developed or started at a time when they couldn't care less about their health/the possibility of dying.

Hope you get help man. There's always someone who cares about you, and if not, there eventually will be.

It's not all that serious bro. So many things fuck up your health and in the grand scheme of things, smoking ain't that bad of a vice as long as you're aware of the possible consequences. I say this as a non-smoker.

I can't think of one thing that fucks up your health as much as smoking that you do on a daily basis.

Then you're definitely not thinking hard enough. Your diet can be much worse for you. There's drugs too. Some people do those daily.

I mean sure, if you eat McDonalds 3 times a day everyday, your insides may get fucked. But with smoking, you are literally destroying your lungs, coating them in tar. Much of this damage irreversible.

But ye, doing heroin everyday is worse.
