I used to smoke about 15 years ago. I smoked for 5 years, but glad I quit. Do you smoke?
No I do not smoke. Have you noticed the health benefits since you stopped? Such as it helping you breathe better?
I haven't noticed anything in recent years, but soon after I initially quit, I could breath much better. Also, I didn't get sick much anymore.
That's interesting. Fun fact: smoking was used in various cultures as a ritual--some believed it could lead to some spiritual enhancement.
Yes, I think I've heard about that. Was it just the native americans, or other cultures as well?
I am not sure exactly, but, now it is typically used for recreational use.
Marijuana is really popular these days. I think the opinions of smoking it are changing.
Yes that is true. But with any drug it does have negative health infects. Perhaps it may even affect some mentally.
I agree. I believe there are certainly reasons to avoid smoking marijuana and tobacco, but people can be sensation seeking.
Yeah that is most likely what people are doing. They take risks, ignoring or tolerating what happens as it adds to the "excitement' of the activity.
