Why do people smoke cigarettes?

[Harrison]

You're still an idiot of massive proportions for smoking, regardless.

Purest is just immensely worse off. I wouldn't be proud of "lol I poison myself and still ride bicycles."

[Harrison]

Also, do 50 in one day and I may be impressed. Biking is ezpz, even for an idiot with reduced lung function due to their addiction/stupidity.

I did a 50 mile ride from Rehoboth, MA to Middleboro, MA. 7miles on a bike? Lol

***** please, it's 14 miles bare minimum on a bike. That 7 miles I linked was a one way straight shot to work, nevermind if i go out to hawthorne or alberta which adds an extra 6-8 miles round trip to the ordeal.

I understand it's not leet bragging rights of "OH YEAH BRO, I DID A 100KM RACE LOOK AT MY QUADS" but just saying, just cause you smoke cigarettes doesn't make you this feeble old hacking pussy who takes the elevator over the stairs.

I did a ride from Brooklyn to Columbia NJ last June, it was much more difficult than the half marathon I had done a few weeks prior.

Off topic are you doing TM this year, I signed up for the one at the end of April in Allentown PA so my training regiment has to kick into overdrive soon.

It is too close to my boy's due date :\

I'm currently training for the 2012 New Bedford Half Marathon though.

Will be my first actual race that is a half marathon. I've ran 13 miles before obviously, just not in an official sense.

I don't know why you keep spamming it like I'm ashamed of it. I posted it myself.

Still no purest picture, obviously. Confirmed ashamed of your job, body, and life.

Fuck haters, +1.

Cofirmed everyone who was banned for acking also is a smoker.

This was an interesting read.
Project1999 off topic posts are the only reason I keep coming back.

I had my first puff at around 8 or 9, by 12 it was a daily occurrence.
Currently I smoke around 10-15 cigarettes a day.
I'll estimate that I've smoked over 60,000 cigarettes in my life.
I am not saying this is a good thing, but the ill effects vary from person to person.

I play soccer in a mens league, majority of my teammates are long time smokers.
In the last 10 years we won our division 9 times, and were league champions 7 times.
(8-10 teams per division, 4 divisions incase someone was wondering)

I have a bronze medallion in swimming,
I can carry a dead weight adult in my arms while swimming on my back for 2 hours(never tried more)
and tread water for 5+ hours, which I know isnt very hard.
I live in a condo with an average sized pool, I do multiple laps underwater without keeling over.

Someone mentioned wrinkled/leathery skin..
I am 29, and I still get ID'd. I'm Canadian too, legal age is 19.

I dont condone smoking, but generalizing an entire population of smokers is extremely stupid.
I do know people who have died of lung cancer before they were 60.
But there are also people who never get it, My grandmother smoked for 79 years and died of old age at 93.
My father has been smoking for 53 years and still plays soccer with me at family outings and is in good health.

When it comes to poor people being addicted to cigarettes, I agree, it is stupid to balance your lively hood around a flaming stick of leaves.
But, I assume we're all adults here, and if $5 is a strain on your wallet, you need to get your priorities in check.

I see a lot of generalizations in forums.. stop being douche bags. Not everyone is exactly the same.
