You don't get it. People only say that because when most people hit 30, they have a family and they don't stay active like they should.
If I continue riding 80 miles every other day, I'll be able to eat 6K calories a day for the rest of my life. My dad doesn't ride or workout like he used to, but he still is in great shape. Its partially genetics, and I simply have good genes.
I can't believe how brainwashed and in denial you all are. Every positive benefit can be maintained by being healthy in general. Smoking has those benefits for the wrong reasons. It turns any real athleticism into shit. Keeping weight down isn't a good excuse to smoke lol. For every positive you think you can find, there are 20 negatives.My mind is blown.

Don't get me wrong. I know that smoking a lot is really bad for most people, and most people who smoke are bad athletes. That doesn't mean that there are a few exceptions.
All I'm saying is that I have the mind power, and drive to be better than athletes who don't smoke, while I can still enjoy the occasional cigarette. (If you forgot, I only smoke 1-2 cigs a day)
I also drink a decent amount of beer, does that mean I am guaranteed to have my liver fail? No.
Ha! Indeed. I think that was maybe the 10th cigarette I had in all 28 years of my life. And I've smoked about half the amount of cigars. Cigars are fun though, especially.
You know I really don't like cigars that much. I never get a good buzz off of them, and usually just too hard to smoke. Plus I don't like large phallic shaped objects in my mouth.

My Philosophy teacher back in high school (a heavy smoker) was like..people aren't addicted to nicotine..it's all psychological..it doesn't calm you down (he's correct, nicotine actually agitates you and excites you..I think it's the CO that does that "calming" thing) all you want is to suck on that thing..it's all in our heads.

I think you guys need to lay off. Smoking is one among many things that defines health, and the #1 thing there is genetics, #2 is food quality-exercise ratio, smoking/drinking are somewhere there but not in the front.
Every smoker wishes he could quit, btw..it's a stupid decision that we took when we started smoking, to tell you the truth..but I'm not gonna lie, we enjoy a smoke.
Precisely. You just enjoy it too much. If you didn't enjoy it more than you do, you'd definitely quit. Most people I've known that successfully quit did so because they simply didn't like it anymore. They just lost their taste for it. Not because they worked hard at it, or cause they got on the patch or any thing like that. They simply didn't like smoking anymore.

Is that enjoyment mental or chemica?:O:cool:

Saying nicotine is not addictive would imply some type of scientific proof.

It's philosophy, and you're asking for scientific proof?
Both, I guess?
