Guitar strings?

I have an orange wood Oliver jr acoustic guitar, I had some 0.012 gauge Ernie ball strings but the luthier said that they would mess with my guitars neck beyond repair so he installed 0.010 ones. Now the guitar sounds very plasticky and not warm at all like it used to.

Should I get 0.012 ones installed? Because it feels like the luthier just wanted to sell his 0.010 strings and got successful in doing so.

How to check if the action is too much?

How to check if the action on my guitar has increased? How to prevent it, how to correct it? Also, is some amount of belly on the guitar normal?

SOS

I am on day three of no smoking. Quit cold turkey after smoking 7-8 cigs a day for 3 years but my cravings are massive right now. I have a pack on me and I am trying my best to not smoke. Help a brother out, some motivation please.

Online courses - Acoustic

I have been playing the guitar for years now, but I started as someone who used to learn songs off if YouTube and now I feel that I haven’t touched upon the basics of guitar (playing by the ear, different fingerpicking patterns). I now wanna correct this mistake. Any suggestions for an online guitar lesson for someone who knows open and barre chords. Thank you.

Forerunner 265 - India

Can anyone help me with screen protector and watch strap suggestions for my forerunner 265 in India? Got a screen protector from Amazon but it’s TPU and comes off after a week of use.
Thanks!
