i smoke for health reasons.
i have a chronic and incurable illness called ulcerative colitis. i´d been able to manage it for years, but when i gave up smoking about a year and a half ago, i had a terrible relapse, lost loads of blood, was shitting 20 times a day, couldnt work, was constantly bloated and shitting whatever i ate or drank straight out. shitting water is weird.
so i did a bit of research and it turns out that smoking dampens the symptoms of colitis and is actually less dangerous that the medication i was prescribed on relapse (azathioprine....supresses the immunes system and increases cancer risk by up to 250 times)
now i smoke rolling tobacco, i´m running and resistance training again, putting some muscle back on. i can feel that i´m a bit shorter of breath, but at least i can fucking function.
tldr, giving up smoking nearly killed me.
