This is pretty much my default attitude, but...SSC once wrote that smoking possibly mitigates schizophrenia, and that “[t]his should be a warning to anyone who’s too quick to tell patients that their coping strategies are maladaptive.” News does have those downsides, just like smoking does cause cancer. But it’s good to remember that load-bearing bugs are the rule, not the exception.
