Snoop Dogg is especially notable for two things: being an iconic rapper, and his enthusiastic cannabis smoking.
In recent news, the 52-year-old music star has dropped one of his two favorite activities, and luckily for his fans, it isn’t his rap career.
Taking to his Instagram and X (formerly known as Twitter) account on Thursday (November 16), the Next Episode rapper announced in a stupefying post that he had given up smoking.
Snoop, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, didn’t state what specific type of smoking he was quitting, but one could assume he was referring to weed, a substance he has been famously consuming for most of his 30-year career.
According to the American Addiction Centers, long-term smoking of marijuana can irritate the respiratory tract—including the throat and lungs. As a result, frequent use over a prolonged period increases the risk of problems such as cough, chronic bronchitis, increased risk and frequency of pneumonia, and other lung illnesses.
Amongst a range of other undesirable effects initiated by long-term cannabis smoking, one might have severe cyclic nausea and vomiting, as well as various psychiatric disorders.
As a result of certain individuals developing a marijuana addiction, one might also experience withdrawals when quitting, which can lead to irritability, mood changes, sleeping difficulties, and decreased appetite.
