I stay in shape by going to the gym religiously, running in this arid weather, and playing basketball, but I smoke a pack and a half a day. A couple weeks ago, I decided to cut back on smoking to just under a pack a day. I didn't feel any better. In fact, I felt worse. For the first time, I started developing a smoker's cough. It freaked me out so I tried to quit cold turkey. Shortly after, I caught the flu and I was miserable.
Now I'm back to smoking a pack a day and I feel great. What the hell is going on? |

Try smoking weed as an alternative. I heard it's worked for a few of my friends.
But hey, that might not be an option for some people. |

Studies have shown that weed might be a worse (better?) carcinogen than cigarettes. Meaning, you're more likely to get cancer from smoking weed. How's the not smoking going? |
