Successful government campaigns changed attitudes and behaviours. Smoking is an addiction with health consequences that are as serious as many other drugs. It is not wise for anyone to develop a dependence on any addictive behaviour and cross addiction means that one addiction can lead to another. Smoking tobacco can easily lead to smoking other substances such as marijuana. A lot of people find that smoking tobacco and alcohol goes well together. Am I aware of the dangers of cross-addiction?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-8eed5b5a4efcd6418cbc11456bb74437\"><strong> Any kind of dependence can limit my ability to grow and mature as an adult person. Dependence makes me selfish, fearful and avoidant of responsibility. I used to think that I was an independent person when in fact I was the opposite. It was only when I faced reality and asked for help that I started to become truly mature and independent. Today I give thanks to the fellowships for the help to grow and become mature.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>View VIDEO on Facebook&nbsp;&nbsp;https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=A100094027278120 Follow on TikTok Videos at&nbsp;https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@recoverydays?is_from_webapp=1&amp;sender_device=p YouTube&nbsp;&nbsp;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@Recoverydays_chRemember Mindfulness \u2013 sit comfortably Remember Mindfulness \u2013 send positive thoughts Nicotine It\u2019s not so very long ago that the majority of people smoked tobacco wherever and whenever they wanted.
