Oh, Ken, I didn't know you smoked, sorry to hear that. It wreaks havoc on many of the systems. Start a breath practice (seriously), I'll look for a link to send to you. And, you could play that Courtney Barnet track about having trouble breathing in.

Breathe practice is a path towards meditation, but it is a very deliberate way of putting a control on the breath, guiding it physically and mentally, gradually expanding one's lung capacity (over time), and it has all sorts of great physiological and psychological benefits. And no hangover the next day.

Ken from Hyde, I'm a non-smoker who within the past year took up vaping, both w & w/o nicotine, in an attempt to lose weight. I haven't done any for about the past month or two, though. It might be a ticket to nowhere, but it's not a ticket to anywhere bad.
