Neg

not here

I hate even admit'n this but, since you are all like my family and will be probably shocked...yes I do on occasion, espically if I have a few beers. I've been in sales for over 10 years and just about everyone around me does, so it's hard not too. Don't ever start, cause it's very hard to stop. My entire lifestyle is built around fitness and bodybuilding except for this occasional VERY bad habbit.

No, I never did and never will. I cannot understand people who smoke. I mean, there is no reason or anything positive to smoke.

Nope .. no ... not at all ..never ...

What's weird is that my parents smoked from when I was really little (mom quit during pregnancy but started up again after) till when I was almost in high school. I guess that exposure just made me never want to smoke a single cigarette or anything of the sort. Now I intern at a cancer center and do statistical research on lung cancer patients.

Do a little math problem for me in your head. Think of the most you've ever smoked for a continuous amount of time (in packs per day) and then multiply that number by the total number of years you've smoked (if you do). For example, say that I smoked when I was younger and averaged at my peak 1 pack per day and I've been smoking off and on for 20 years. That would give me the number 20. There is a direct correlation between pack/years and lung cancer. Most people who develop crazy-ass lung cancer have pack years in the 50's or higher. Most people who come in with small nodules have pack/years between 20 and 40.

Just think about that. Even if you've quit smoking, if you have a pack/year history that's above 20, you should make sure you go to your doctor every year and get an x-ray of your chest. Some of the most serious cases I've seen have been guys in their 40's and 50's who developed a mild cough and it turned out to be advanced or metastatic lung cancer. Don't be part of those numbers. Quit now and start getting checkups YEARLY with your doc. As they say on FX 'check up or check out'.

Smoking is horrible i'll never smoke. Combat sports and smokin doesn't mix. All my friends smoke but I just can't. I know a couple of guys i train with that smoke i dunno how they do it. I don't know about you guys but the most unattractive thing to me is when a girl smokes I think its nasty.

Nope

not me

I hate cigarettes! The thing I hate most is those that do smoke love to come to the gym and workout before showering. They smell like they have been rolling around in an ash try filled with butts and poop! YUCK!
So this is a special service message
If you smoke you must shower before the gym because you stink!
I am sorry to offend anyone with this post :)

I will actually break out in hives from being in a smoky situation...I'm allergic :-)

I must admit, I love cigars and collect them more than smoke them LOL. I have about 500 in my humidor, from trips I take out of the states. Pre competition I usually smoke 1 a week, but dont inhale, just get a little buzz from them that relaxes me and suppresses the appetite. But offseason, I rarely smoke them.
