@bade302b A few weeks ago a friend came around, wielding a bottle of whisky. He told me he drinks half a bottle a day just to feel 'normal', he was puffing on a fag, even tho his doctor told him he has COPD, he was unsteady on his feet, which tells me he has wet-brain, but the worst was when he showed me the bulging network of varicose veins on his thighs. He's my age, so that made me think. I've got to quit the nicotine, but am enjoying smoking a little weed, which I deem fairly harmless. 

 @385087f8 have you tried vaping? I would prefer you to not smoke at all, but vapes are supposedly less harmful.
