You can not: Smoking is not compatible with maintaining a healthy lifestyle. The damage caused by smoking on your cells, including brain cells and blood vessels is serious and continuous. In addition, smokers are not welcome in many circles. Therefore, you would do yourself an immense service if you decided now to quit before you have permanent problems.
