I've seen this once before. Addicted and hindered but can't accept it. So they convinced themselves that what they were doing was right

I mean, this is clearly a bit, but I don't think addicts smoke exactly one cigarette a day. Some people who smoke small amounts never become addicted. I used to smoke, like, half a pack over a few weeks, forget where I left it, and then go months without smoking. Haven't smoked at all in probably eight years now, not because I intentionally quit but just because I couldn't be assed to carry them around any more. (I really only started buying cigs so that I could stop telling people I didn't smoke when they asked to bum one.)
If you just smoke two (for the health benefits) you don't even need to work out.
Well if I smoke four (for the health benefits), then it's like I worked out twice!
Unfortunately they don't allow it at the casino so I can't smoke while I gamble (for the health benefits)

There is data to show nicotine might have a performance increasing effects on people. However, the idea is more that you ingest a safe amount via methods that are not smoking/chewing.
Nicotine itself is hardly worse than say caffeine. But obviously the negative effects of burning and inhaling a cigarette (with all that it contains), especially the carcinogenic agents, is absolutely stupid to think it's an even trade to pump your workout
I've heard that but how else is one supposed to get nicotine in the system? Chewing gum? Patches? Vapes? Is it soluble in a substance that's safe to consume?
If u aren't already addicted, don't even bother. Nicotine is fucking insane
Too late unfortunately
THAT'S WHY I DRINK A SUGAR-FREE REDBULL WITH EXTRA CREATINE, PROTEIN POWDER, AND PROBIOTICS MIXED IN WHILE CHEWING SEVEN ZYNS BEFORE EVERY 15 MINUTE SET. I NO LONGER SLEEP AND MY HEARTBEATS CANNOT BE DISTINGUISHED. MY LUNGS ARE PERFECT AND MY BODY IS PRISTINE!
Your heartbeat is measured in Hz
Come to think of it, a normal heart rate would be like 1-3hz depending on activity
Smoking doesn't increase testosterone ... it makes your voice sound like you have more testosterone
The purpose of working out is to look cool......... Now that I've discovered cigarettes that's mission accomplished.
What listening to Andy Taytay does to you.
Well, no, but actually yes
Yep. Completely retarded.
