I also recently quit after more years than i care to count. The irony of smoking and cycling was what really got me to quit but it certainly wasn't the only reaspon. Even so, that obviously hasn't occurred to plenty of other people out there. I still see lots of cyclist-smokers particularly around one of the local sports centers.
4 or 5 cigarettes per day? Hell if I could have limited myself to only 4 or 5 I'd still be smoking.
