... I am applauding to the courage writing about this "sensitive" topic, because in our society it's often "challenging" to come up with a "winking shout out" about "overthinking main stream adoptions, etc." ... -_-

Like maaany other ways of "dealing with mental issues" it's smoking, that has "endured" for a long time now ... although there are studies showing that a major "awakening" happened after the evidence of "danger'ing other people, too" with the own smoking habit ... !

Thankfully our systems are getting "re-thought" by ourself more and more, so we realize any compulsion, etc. as a re-action via "replacement/compensation/substitute" for something deeply suppressed in our minds/souls ...

Healing the inner interferences can help reducing "attachments" to anything "un-healthy dealing" with things we experienced or phases in life we ( have to ) go through ...
