Meek Mill's tweet read, “Ima go to Dubai and completely stop smoking… Ima follow Snoop, my doctor said I have a little bit of emphysema in my chest if I don’t stop smoking; it cuts my lifeline in half. I was addicted to the nicotine and this new weed got too many chemicals and was too risky to play with my mental health!”
