We need to have an honest conversation about smoking:
The problem with smoking is that it is way more than just a physical addiction.

Smoking creates a temporary problem and offers an instant solution. Once your brain is used to nicotine, for up to 72 hours you are itchy, nervous, and stressed – but one drag and instantly, you feel really good.

It also helps you focus and take breaks during work, while suppressing your appetite.

So why is it such a bad idea?

This could be a whole series - Alcohol, pot, caffeine, sugar, even stuff like Adderall or "illegal" drugs.

My guess is most of those are not as blindingly obviously ridiculously one-sided as smoking, so it will require nuance. But that is why I give Kurgesagt money every month. You (collectively) are better at explaining nuance topics than nearly anyone else on YT.

I want an alcohol one with the same quality and neutral "here is what happens to your body," no preaching, just facts!

very good topic, thank you. Just a personal feedback to the animation: i don't feel connected to the faces of everything (including people) in the last videos. I might be conservative, but i find the new way of animation uglier than it used to be. I watched the classical "ducks" on the Patreon trailer "What Makes Kurzgesagt So Special?" and that was the old good nice animation we all know.
