> I've smoked weed on and off for over a decade

No one cares.

?? Surely my smoking habits are relevant to an app focused on lung health and lung capacity.
You don't think smoking impacts lung capacity?
Frequency is the determinant variable, on and off over a decade is too open ended to be relevant.
I agree I could've been more clear.

Less than an ounce of weed per month for five years. Then an ounce of weed per month, every month, for another 5 years. Two six month breaks. One three month break. Coughing up black stuff from my lungs wasn't unheard of.

I had genuine concern about the damage I was doing to my lungs and brain, so I started trying to quit more seriously about two years ago. Two of the six month breaks occurred in the last two years.

I've smoked maybe a gram in the past month.

I strongly feel that I should not be a shining bastion of good lung capacity.

At least switch to a vaporiser if you dont quit completely.
