I fixed the quote for you. So while your perspective is understandable, I’m unsure if I would have made the same decision as you. I also would not be in the same position as you because I would never smoke because it’s a terrible idea and would quit to prioritize my health above temporary, immediate gratification. Hopefully for your sake, it was a wake up call to quit so you don’t feel compelled to take a risk on the unknown instead of facing what was known. Nobody knew (knows) the long term side effects of the vaxxx. 67 with no health conditions or co-morbidities (had you quit smoking) and facing covid head on would have been a better decision than gambling with the potential unknown side effects of the vaxxx. The devil you know is better than the devil you don’t know.
