I had to quit because of throwing up everywhere too. I’d had a cold one summer and my throat wouldn’t heal.

I bet the same ratio listen to music all the time too…cigs are so bad…I’m glad I’m away from them.
Yeah it’s a high amount, but honestly, so many people in the world smoke it’s insane.

Long time reader, first time poster. I am a bit paranoid and hope there exists an easy way to delete all of my posts should I become overwhelmed. I also have an autism dx and am nervous of unintentionally falling foul of the rules. Wishing everyone well.

I don’t smoke but I used to. I guess I’m in the 20%
