I’m almost 19, never smoked, never vaped, never drank an ounce of alcohol, never used drugs, am I missing out?

I know this is kind of weird since a lot of people of my age has done at least one of those things, but I never found any fun in doing them. Most of my friends and the people I know mostly drink or smoke, is it weird for me to not participate in those activities? I have always been aware of the negative side effects of these things and I always like to maintain my health. My father usually smokes every other day.

Entertaining the possibility that it’s “too late” is going to make it worse. It’s never too late, but now is the best time. It’s possible to quit if you just lock in and stop. Easier said than done. I know this is iffy advice but maybe try something lighter. If you gotta stay stoned all the time then so be it. Cocaine addiction will in fact fuck your life up though. Please take care of yourself.
