Smoking and sports.So?!

Go ahead and smoke, as long as you are aware of the health risks. There is a chance for cancer and it will damage your lungs, but if you are still able to perform as well in your sport, then it doesn't really matter. The consequences of smoking exist, but are severely exaggerated.Health Question & Answer

well... smoking will decrease your lung capacity. that being said, guy lafleur (a great hockey player) smoked like a freight train and did very well. i had a sergent in the army who chain smoked and could run anyone into the ground. so i guess what i'm saying is go ahead, you just may have to work slightly harder, although i can't imagine that one cigarette a day is really going to hurt that badHealth Question & Answer
