QUIT WEED NOW. Its making your hs 10x worse!

I (19, male) have had HS for around 3 years. It started as one pimple on my thigh, then two, then a few reoccurring places, then the scars, then on my buttocks and eventually on my groin area. It has been getting worse and worse with each month. Especially the past year and specifically the past 6 months have been the worst. Which was confusing because in these past 6 months ive been eating the cleanest ive ever eaten, ive been working out and have lost 25kg. I went from 108kg to 82.8kg (177cm tall) and instead of it helping my HS, it was only getting worse. But i recently came across a tiktok of a dermatologist explaining how smoking cigarettes is actually a huge factor in HS. But not only cigarettes, cannabis too. I happen to fall victim to both. Ive been smoking cigs, believe it or not, since 8 years old. I come from a fucked up part of the world where kids smoking is not that unusual. But i also smoke weed. I started weed around the same time HS started (which also makes me wonder if it was the weed that sparked it) but i then quit for 10 months from November 2024 until around September 2025 and in this timeframe if i recall correctly i was still getting flare ups but nowhere near as much as now. So for the last 5/6months ive been smoking regularly weed again, almost daily, and as i said these past 6 months its been getting so much worse so i started to connect the dots and i tested it by staying off of weed for two weeks and my HS is significantly better although it was pretty severe to start with so im still not at peace unfortunately. But nonetheless, im so surprised by this! I wish i knew sooner. So many less boils and flare ups and so much less pain had i known before. So take this from me. STOP THE WEED. IT IS NOT WORTH IT. It damages your mental health AND worsens your HS.
