I was just wondering what you guys thought about this topic, and how many of you actually smoke cigarettes? I'm sure the majority of us don't, because we are into health and working out, but I still see guys at the gym smoking..... I would assume it would add to BP problems, and possibly mess with Lipid profiles even more...... Just wondering what you guys think, if anything about smoking?

Jeez, half the guys and gals in my gym smoke..Most put their cigs out right before they walk in, and blow their smoke all in the gym.. Smoking in general is not good, but to each his own.. I cant stand it personally.
 
not worth it in my opinion...you make 5 steps foreward by choosing to work out and lead a healthy lifestyle then you contridict yourself and make 20 steps back by smoking...
 
i'm a fucking pathetic smoker. i smoked all through high school and freshman year of college quit cause me uncle died of lung cancer. didn't smoke for 6 years, then i got addicted to painkillers after a surgery i had to have. i used cigarettes to help me come off them. i would do anything to quit, its so fucking hard. better than the hell i had to go through when i was tryin to get off the pills.

i smoke prolly 4 a day... id rather take painkillers tho, smoking is fucking bad, i would smoke up to a pack a day before i randomly cutdown bigtime
 
I smoked all the way threw high school and a freshman year of college. I quit and started chewing my skoal and never looked back. I like nicitine as a drug and when I just put it in my lip it doesnt hurt me when I go on the stairmaster/tredmill/bike. Smoking effects your lungs witch in turn effects your body to use oxogen and white blood cells to heal muscle. To what degree.....i dont know. But I can tell you I feel much healhier with Skoal then I did with Camels. I once in awhile will have a smoke with some buddies after a few beers......my lungs hurt for at least 2 days....Cant admagine going back to a pack a day. Not saying chewing is better then smokes they are both bad.... but as far as when I exercise I notice Cigs much more. It might be a good altenitive. and help you back off.

I quit smoking, cocaine, drinking all the same way. I just stopped and refused to do it again. It's in you to stop. It's not easy but it's in you.
 
Honestly, my grandfather passed away with lung cancer and smoked til the day he died . Now my grandmother who never smoked one cig also has lung cancer. If people can get lung cancer just by being next to someone that smokes imagine what it is doing to someone who actually smokes.

What age were you at when you gave it all up Ulter? You don't drink at all?
 
i don't drink i think its poision, only a bit or red vino here and there for bp. cocaine i quit its the worst thing in the world for an ecto like me to take. i know its in me.
 
I know smoking is bad.... Im a recovering drug addict and alcohol so its on of the few vices i have left. Bruce, It could be worse, you could be on the painkillers.
 
yea i appreciate it bro. its no excuse but i would not wish it on my worst enemy the withdrawal of pk's is horrible.

I gave up smoking at 34, coke at 39 and drinking 6 years ago. I gave up drinking because my wife's father was an alcoholic and he used to abuse her. She has issues with men drinking so I quit. In the interest of fairness, she quit too. :)
 
I still have yet to decide if I have a drinking problem myself. I am in college so most people use that as in excuse. But its sometimes almost impossible for me not to have a drink around people that are drinking. And about painkillers I have seen the withdrawls of Opiates. My good friend just died of a heroin over dose about 2 months ago and swore I would never touch the shit. Watchin my buddy go threw withdrawls was a lesson learned. Props/K for getting off them.

RIP Kevin
 
the person who got me into aas, one of my closest friends has the most freakish physique ive seen. he is only around 205 but at 5% year round. he drinks lattes and smokes parliaments never fuckin eats. he puts up 405 as his warm up on bench and 500 is no problem for him. he is not the most massive dude but his muscle and strength are freakish. i hate how he never eats anything. he also has a serious heroin problem. i don't understand how this kid smokes black tar heroin and can continue to train this way. he has been on winny with a few breaks here and there for about 3 yrs straight now. i love the kid but he doesn't understand excess
 
I smoke. I hate it, now at least. I used to smoke over a pack of lucky's or camel unfilterreds a day throughout college. I never did quit all out before because I liked it, but after the fit of coughing I went through two weeks ago I'm finally trying to quit and WANT TO. Even though I've only been smoking 3-4 cigs a day for the past 6months or so, its still very hard on me. Bash me all you will. I DO deserve it. And anyone who smokes, if you tell people not to, its pretty much the ONLY thing I don't get mad about people being hypocritical about...
 
Like ulter said its in you...if you can diet and drop down to single digit bf%. Then you can quit. I feel personally that is takes the same drive to diet as to quit and IVe been through both. Good luck to you all who are quitting and im sure youre gonna have a support team behind you..
 
I find it harder to eat REAL clean then it was to quit smoking...mylungs are good now but my BF is still WAY to high.

And bruce... that is one of the craziest things I have ever heard. I hate heroin wiht a passion if i see it i destroy it no matter whos it is. I never hear about sucess stories about heroin. I know there are a select few but even the ones who do end up going back like 30 years down the line. I just dont get it.
 
he has gone into rehab 3 times successfully finished. a month down the road he would get back into weed, soon pk's and then smokin heron. yea i don't think he will ever kick it. real sad. the university i went to heron was very popular. half the kids you saw in class you could find at the local methadone clinic ed. i know cause i took my friend. and methadone is harder to come off than heroin. just a way for the gov to make money. sad do not try it. i never have never will

methadone can be used correct and I rather have people take it then heroin. It wont have them stealing/robbing for H. I couldnt beleive my boy would lie to me about anything. But ever sense he got on it a couple years back its hard to even talk to the kid because hes constantly hiding something. He is the same way. Got out real quick and thinks he can go back to drinking and partying like he used to without going back. Im almost positive he already is... real sad again. Heroin has been BLOWING up the suburbs of Detroit.
 
daym bros. this turned in to a crazy thread. Bruce, you can quit smokin bro , promise dat. You just gotta dominate that self control . im sure my situation isnt near as severe, but its kinda wat i had to do to drop my weight from 282 to 213. you gotta be fucking determined just like mudvayne says. when you want something so bad that you wake up thinking about it and go to sleep thinking about it, you can make things happen. Just stay focus bruce i have faith in you bro.

Some of you might remember my post about 3 months or so ago, I used to smoke about 30 a day for 10 years and managed to place in the top three in most shows I competed in, since kicking the habit I'm feeling healthier fitter and actually just placing fucking A, seriously it was not easy but by far the best decision I've made in my life, its just not worth it, you are killing yourself, I know they say there is nothing worse than someone preaching about smoking who is a ex smoker and none of my mates even light up in front of me anymore I can't stand it, seriously boys there are so many things on the market that can help but personally I think you need to make that decision and want to stop, I did and never been better...
 
I have never smoked a ciggerette once even...both parents did...in the car...windows up....My sister and i bitching all the way. I smoke a lot of weed I admitt but it has an effect. I asked my dad who is 62 and still smokes if he gets a buzz or anything now. He said no. I said then quit! Shit I could see it a little if it were weed. its like non-alcoholic beer..whats the point? I am not saying weed is great but at least it has an effect and a reason to consume it. BTW...I use a Vaporizer whenever I can. No carcinogins.

someone wrote on one thread that they fill a jar 1/3 full with butts and water. then they shake it and smell it when they're tempted to have a smoke. someone said this works for them. i can imagine that would turn anyone away from having a smoke.

shit I know smokers who would drink that if they went long enough without a cigarette

amazes me how that shit is perfectly legal, one of the most addictive substances in the world, and steroids are demonized

so fuckin backwards
 
I am guilty of smoking also, I smoke 1 pack a day and can honestly say I have not really felt any negative sides with my training, although I do know it has effected it some way or another. And bruce, not many know how it feels to go through opiate addiction, but trust me, ive been to that hell and back again, NOTHING in the world is worse than that, I would rather smoke 4 packs of cigs a day then try to get off Oc's again, and I wasnt taking them orally either, that is a bad road and I dont think people can imagine the hell you go through.
 
smoking is horrible. im not going to be a hypocrite. i smoked for 6 years. i quit the day that news reporter from canada died, Peter Jennings in Aug '05. I tried to quit so many times before. The thing is, you cant ween yourself off. you cant say, hey im down to half a pack, im down to 5 ciggs, im down to 1 cigg, blah blah blah. You just gotta make yourself sick of ciggs. I just made my mind think, this is fuckin nasty.. I surfed the web and showed myself pix of a black lung. I programmed my mind. Thats what u need to do. Honestly what works for one person may not work for another but this is what i did to help me come off. Theres no saying, im going to quit soon. You just have to wake up that one day and say, im never smoking another ciggarette again for the rest of my life. NEVER. after the first 3 wks, its much much easier.
mind over matter. in my opinion, your mind is the strongest thing u have. it even beats addiction. anybody can quit, you just have to want to.
 
Ok, Ok, What about this..... You have a bad divorce, and are alone for years..... You meet a really great chick, and she's the ONE you've been looking for your entire life.... One draw back: SHE SMOKES, and you can't stand it..... She says she wants to quit, so you let it go..... Well, 2yrs go by, and your love has grown leaps and bounds, but she hasn't quit the smoking..... What do you do? Ignore it?

If you can't tell, this is my story..... My girl smokes, and it kills me..... I put all this time and energy into looking better, and being healthier, and she is like the exact oppisite.... I don't know man.... On the one hand I love her more then anything, but I hate the lack of health consciousness she has.... What you guys think?

Dealing with relationships is shitty. Keep reminding her of how bad it smells/looks and how bad it is for her and how much better she would feel without them. But I would never tell her to quit thats her body her decision just likes its yours to keep in shape.

thats me in a nut shell...but im a kodiak guy my self
 
I smoked for 7 yrs. and have been quit 8. I had shoulder surgery 6 yrs ago and was hooked on lori's. I quit them after two years. U just have make up your mind if you want to make gains, be healthy and take control of your life. I did and haven't looked back.
 
This question has nothing to do with Anabolics or working out.........It's been proven times and time again, smoking is bad for your health.......
