From a crusader
Smoking ruined 40 years of my mother’s life. The last 15 years, my wife and I would regularly lug O2 cylinders to her flat and dole out the nebulizer refills. She was a highly intelligent person who gave up 20 years ago……but it was too late.
Just say - I don’t smoke.
However, you will not only want to eat more, and you will also convert more from the food you eat (to fat if you are not careful). It’s a double whammy. Don’t use food as a prop.
Good luck.
