How to implement an infinite loop for a bot telebot module?

Question

Python

import telebot
bot = telebot.TeleBot('TOKEN')

@bot.message_handler(commands=['start'])
def start(message):
while True:
msg = bot.send_message(message.chat.id,'enter data: ')
bot.register_next_step_handler(msg,foo)

def foo(message):
data = message.text
# and something else ...
# and while this is happening, the loop should pause as input waits until you enter data
