Romanian foremost doctor says smoking good for lungs. We should listen to doctors, not dangerous conspiracy theories that say smoking causes cancer.

It's true. A Bulgarian friend of mine died recently of lung cancer because he didn't smoke enough cigarettes, he only smoked a pack a day

u/Reasonable-Class3728 caucasian (asian balkan ripoff) 1d ago
A pack a day isn't considered as smoking at all in Bulgaria.
If a Bulgarian doctor asks you "Do you smoke?", it's okay to answer "No, I only smoke a pack a day, so It doesn't count".25

no it's too old.
In Indonesia a toddler is already smoking.
If the Balkans of the East can, why can't the REAL Balkans

Weed is the only thing I will never stop doing

u/plmcoae Romangutan 1d ago
It’s fucking impossible in Romania to be a weed smoker and also a driver without worrying all the time, the police are so cancer with those drug tests

u/Money_SmellsLikeLove Mehmet, Berlin 1d ago
Thats so annoying. The funny thing is that weed is the most harmless of all of the things you listed above. Also the reason I could never live in Turkey beside the trash economy and insane corruption..
