RE: If you die prematurely, don't you prefer to die for something that's worth it?

Smoking is one of the things I just absolutely cannot wrap my head around as to why someone would do it, especially today!
Back in the early 1900’s when doctors were advertising it and the average person didn’t know the damage it did I can understand it’s prevalence but in today’s world when we have the knowledge and resources that we do it’s amazing that new people start smoking every single day.

I too smoked cannabis and it was fun, enjoyable but I just couldn’t get past the smoking aspect of it. I think I only smoked for about 6 months before I quit and never went back. It affected my breathing; my friends and I would skateboard, snowboard and go mountain biking and the smoking put a damper on my ability to do it all the way I wanted so I was thankfully one of the lucky ones that quit. Cannabis is a fantastic substance don’t get me wrong, I know of the vast benefits it has for our body I just don’t think that burning it and inhaling is the best way to incorporate it into our bodies.

The other thing that boggles my mind is the utter poison people call food that they put into their bodies. That’s another topic for discussion altogether but that one really gets me thinking often.

Sort:  

It's "cool", to fit into social groups. Doing the bad thing is "Cool" too. Psychology is so interesting. If only people knew themselves, know thyself, they could understand to not get sucked up into appearances and be too attached to falser identity constructs.
