Yes! If you eat too much, take up smoking instead. That's one old habit gone, and a new one added!


Reminds me of a friend who's New Year's resolution over 20 years ago was to pick up smoking. He tried a few times but just couldn't manage to start the habit.


Ah, I did this too, though it was actually a New Year’s Eve resolution to start smoking which I did successfully - had one cigarette with some friends who were planning on quitting as their New Year’s resolutions which I then joined with them as a new smoker. I was the only one able to follow through on that.


I worked for a guy who said he would take up smoking at age 75 because he'd calculated the impact on his remaining life span at that point would be minimal.


I'm not sure I would wait that long if I wanted to smoke... many smokers live their life expectancy anyways


The modal solo free climber probably does also.
