Maybe it's just me but if I had any kind of lung surgery, the only thing that I would want to put my lungs is air that is as clean as possible.
Its not just you - i am aware of the danger. But i got sick the last year a few times (just happend, didnt do anything wrong or highly risky or so).
not just my lungs, other stuff too. it was the shittiest year of my life. No more cig smoking, no more alcohol, no more intense exercise, no more flying, no more scuba diving, no more heavy lifting etc.
The habit-quitting itselve was nice of course. but the way it had to happen was the worst. it was not my choice, i HAD to give up all of these to stay more or less healthy. I hate the fact that i couldn´t decide to quit or not. i was forced to do so. And a life without any "drugs" (smoking, drinking, adrenaline, crazy nights out, dangerous stupid decisions / situations) is no fun my friend - especially when you have no other choice and you are being doomed to stay at home while your friends travel to Amsterdam to smoke and do shrooms, travel to Ireland and drink whiskey till you brown/black out or travel to spain to watch these fucking bulls running. Or fly to the usa and watch your first NBA Game.
But i know a lot about tv-series, so i got that.
TL;DR Thank you for your kind and reminding words.
(sorry for the bad grammar guys)
