Smoking tobacco or Cannabis vs Buddhist Meditation Practice, major impediment or not?

The meditation practice I'm familiar with revolves around breath.

 

  • Observation of breath.
  • Breathing in, breathing out.
  • Observation of the space between the in breath and the out breath.
  • The effects of Short, or no breath, vs deep breath.
  • Achieving a long regular, relaxed breath without feeling winded or strained.

 

With cannabis shops one sees these days just about everywhere I sometimes feel temptation.

 

But I also I automatically visualise the damage regular smoking might have on my practice.

I think of my lungs as a passport to successful Meditation and Mindfulness.

This thought generates an aversion in me towards smoking of any kind.

 

I think, why would I harm one of the most powerful tools available to me in pursuing my quest?

 

Don't know what others might have experienced mixing the two??
