As a smoker: I'm not clueless, I just don't love myself more than the addiction. But I'm getting there, cause breathing "easily" is an under-rated pleasure, when compared to... not breathing that well

It can take time to break the mental stuff before breaking the habit, regardless of understood risk

Now magnets though... I'm at a complete fucking loss

My point is that not many people know that tobacco contains lead-210 and polonium-210. This is why waping is safer, even though it still carries health risks it doesn't have radioactive elements which deposit in your lungs. And it's not a negligible amount of radiation. You'd be safer living next to Chernobyl plant before it was contained than smoking a pack a day. Do yourself a favor and switch to electronic stuff.
