@Loren__ Thanks. Is it natural to say “Smoking hurts my health. That’s why I never do it”?
Deleted user
@handsomeish when we say, smoking hurts your health is speaking in a general way. But you could say, smoking is harmful to my health.

@Loren__ Alright, but why don’t you say “does harm to my health” or “harms my health”? Because they are more common in written English?

@handsomeish here is the use of ''harm''
to cause hurt, injury, or damage to (someone or something) : to cause harm to (someone or something):
examples:
He would never intentionally harm his children.
She is trying to destroy weeds without harming [=damaging] her crops.
chemicals that could harm the environment
The scandal has seriously harmed his reputation.
