Snoop Dogg has a message for fans: ‘I’m leaving smoke’

“There is wuit [sic] once I chill in Dubai,” he wrote in a tweet that included a photo of Snoop’s post. “Snoop started a smoke-free challenge and we followed! It’s not healthy for me!”

IN subsequent postsaid he was going to follow in Snoop’s footsteps because his doctor told him he had “a little [of] emphysema” and that smoking cuts his “lifeline in half.” According to the Mayo Clinic, “emphysema is a lung condition that causes shortness of breath. In people with emphysema, the air sacs in the lungs (alveoli) are damaged.”

Symptoms of emphysema include shortness of breath, nails that turn blue or gray, and mental restlessness, according to the Mayo Clinic.

“I was addicted to nicotine and this new weed has got too many chemicals and it’s too risky to play with my mental abilities,” he added.

While both tweets included mixed responses from fans, many praised his decision.

One fan wrote: “Facts! Smoking is not healthy for everyone! Any type of smoke in your lungs is bad.. especially if you’ve been smoking for years.” Another replied: “This is good bro! I love seeing influential people use their influence for good things.”

“So I got some, and I said, ‘I don’t feel too bad. This is good,'” he recalled. “Then I have a little more, and then I have a little more, and then I have a little more. I just remember looking at him and saying, ‘I can’t see right now.’ ”
