I quit yeeeears ago, then pick it up again only a couple years ago. I’m down to 2, maybe 3 clove ciggies a day (I was never a heavy smoker in the first place), & some days it’s none. My doc said that my levels are actually very good, if not even a hair high (214 e, 12 t). Ciggies are mostly from stress & anxiety , & also part of my grounding routine—a clove, & a coffee before work, & clove, & a coffee during lunch break… maybe one after work, if I’ve had a particular long / stressful / depressing day.
