I used to smoke, bout half a pack a day for bout 5 years, mainly while living in NYC.
I quit in my late 30s, shit destroyed my cardio, & felt like shit half the time.
I drank too much too, prolly.
I've cut back, Drink a few times every 3 or 4 months, for a special occasion or a night out with friends & gal.
I like to drink vodka & vino.
It's fun, so it's something I gotta watch.
Pulp ain't worth the squeeze for my lifestyle and aims.
That red wine is good for aging is bs.
The reservatrol is minute amounts, compared to the alcohol.
I chew nicotine gum, still.
Is not really healthy, but is a good nootropic & nice lil buzz.
I also drink fresh kanna powder mixed in with almond milk & cocunut water regularly at night, which is a nice anti anxiety thing & helaxing.
Is a good substitute for the vino.

A few times a year I'll microdose mushrooms.
But that's not to helax, but shake things up from routine, or what not.
