Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - You and smoking

I just saw a dude in my neighborhood on what appeared to be a Steamroller take a pause to take a cig break. Since we are all athletes of the highest caliber here and nothing is more important to us than sober living and good health I pose this poll.

cheese

I have been fighting to stop for years. Sometimes I smoke sometimes I don't. I'm doing my best to not smoke at the moment.

i smoke my pipe occasionally...but you didn't make a poll for pipesmokers.

tobacco sux.

It's been 65 days since I've quit. I really want a cigarette.

I quit a year a half ago. I didn't like that I couldn't run anymore. Playing Ultimate, it's kinda important.

I smoke cigars a few times a year. Never smoked cigarettes.

this thread will quickly prove that bikeforums members smoke more weed than cigs

i smoke camel nonfilters everday and ride my bike all the time...it will prove to get the best of me soon enough, but i just like to smoke.

I like to huff gasoline on occasion.

^a-ha!
yeah, I strongly advocate against tobacco products. I do however enjoy ganj, whose less-than-desireable physical side effects I plan to fight with biking and ultimate. ((hackey sack doesn't really cut it for me when it comes to maintaining physical fitness))

I am either smoking or quitting, which is to say smoking less, then smoking not at all, and then smoking more again, and then quitting again.

pack a day
makes me cough
Life is a sexualy transmited fatel disease!!!!!!!

Thinking about my next day's climb home was one of the major factors that helped me not to give into the craving for a cigarette when I was quitting. I just kept telling myself if I smoked that cigarette it would hurt climbing that hill the next day. It might not have been 1000% true, but telling myself that helped a lot, and I sure can breath a lot easier on the climbs and recover faster a year and a half down the road from there.

i used to smoke, i quit about 4 years ago.

I hate smokers more than just about anything.

One of my best friends smokes, and he can't stop no matter what. not for anybody, not even for his kids.

every time i see someone smoking i want to smash the cig into their face .....

hatred... blurred red hatred.

If I need something smokey, I grab an Islay single malt, 12 years or older. :D

My freshman year in college, I knew this guy that rode a GT track bike (he got me into fixed gear bikes) that could ride away from anybody. we did a time trial for the school team he trounced everybody on a fixed mountain bike smokin' a cig on a bet (the mountain bike was the bet, not the smokes). The guy was a friggin' horse.

I once went hiking with a guy who smoked, during a period when I was quit. Four of us were up around 14000 feet, taking a break and trying to gasp for air. This guy (who was fine) lit a cigarette. Hardcore.

This thread is making me want a smoke.

Actually, I am going to go have one now.

I was up to two packs a day a few years ago... now I smoke on occasion like when I'm drunk and on vacation, but not more than a few a month.

wheres the check box for "i dont smoke anything at all"

i quit 4 years ago too, need a check box for quiters.

I am telling you, skidding is the new smoking. Everyone does it because it makes them look cool when they know it is bad for them and there tires. And if you smoke while skidding, that is the ultimate.

I'm currently working on my "lighting a cigarette while trackstanding" technique.

And this is why I Love You. Did you check on the shoes?

how about the "huffing glue and joining a street gang while trackstanding technique?"

I have the huffing part down, but the street gangs dont seem to be impressed.

juvi - didnt get a chance, I forgot I had to head to my moms and cat sit for an evening while shes out of town. will do tomorrow.

yeah but i can replace tires a lot easier than lungs ;)

All I want to know is how come my friends who smoke can always run and bike faster and longer than me?

This is a serious question, im wondering why too.

What about the people that smoke both? I feel like they would have to choose one, but would like to represent both of their "interests".

and for that matter..what about those that smoke ham, pole, fish or crack... you really should have provided more options. seriously.

Wow I'm surprised that there are so many smokers here. People, smoking is a nasty habit. You know the story ...... like licking an ash tray.

Preaching is a nasty habit, too.

only grass for this dude!

Don't smoke anymore, spent six months living in australia where every ****ing person, man, woman, and child smokes. Smoked nothing but rollies the whole time.

Wow, people still smoke?

I saw someone smoke in an old movie once.

You show me where the Surgeon General states that smoking is bad for there tires. In Soviet Canuckistan they have warnings that
cover all the bases (http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/hl-vs/tobac-tabac/legislation/label-etiquette/graph/index_e.html) and they don't mention that one, and they're pretty rigorous, those Canadians.

If it was the one with Wynonna Ryder, she was faking.

i used to smoke. a lot. there were some friends i saw recently after a long time apart, and when i told them i quit smoking, they were ****ing floored.

as i was quitting, i noticed that the longer i went without a cigarette, the easier hills were and all that good ****.

but..did you all know eddy merckx smoked? didn't really slow him down...
