Im a smoker?

[Arabian]

My mother smoked for 40 years and stopped in 1993 and never picked up a cigarette again. 2 years ago she started getting short of breath and to make a long story short , she developed COPD which is caused by smoking. She now cannot go without oxygen full time and is on 4 liters a day continuos flow, and cannot hardly walk. Her lungs are black from the tar and it caused her to have a pace maker installed in August. She is 78 years of age and was fine until she slowed down in life and the tar began to collect in the bottom of her lungs due to her slowing down and becoming less active. As long as someone is active and the lungs are able to expel the tar and gum from the nicotine then people do not suffer any so called problems however as soon as you slow down in life it will KILL you. My mother has outlived the Dr. estimate by 9 months now due to the fact that she smoked. So, Keep on smoking and being addicted to nicotine and I promise you it WILL KILL YOU. For all you in this thread that say oohhhh its so hard to quit . GETS SOME WILL POWER AND QUIT BEING WEAK. I do not feel sorry for anyone that smokes and it makes me angry, to see people blow their smoke in the air for others to breath.OH and BTW: I have already paid for my mothers funeral and had her grave marker already placed at the cemetery because I know Hospice will call me one morning and tell me she is dead.

In answer to your original question then no it will not have any effect on the way or potency of the AAS.

If you set aside the normal - smoking kill - replies as many enjoy and i am a firm believer of its your body and your life as the irony is are we all 100% sure that AAS and some of the weird and wonderful supps are not as harmful? I am not starting a debate here as possible heart and liver damage that can be caused is that better than lung damage? Anyway IMHO the biggest issue you will have is that smoking is an appetite suppressant (many have used while cutting in the older days believe it or not). The issue is calorie / food intake is imperative and smoking can make that harder

Wrongun,
You've raised a good point.
Are we really much healthier than smokers as AAS users?
I don't smoke, but I love my gear and hope it's not going to kill me.

Interesting, this is the third thread on smoking I've seen in the past couple of days.

I started smoking in the army as about 70% of infantry soldiers smoke which is ridiculous considering they have the most physically demanding job! I even knew a PTI who used to smoke WHILST he was taking us on a X mile run.

I'm not gonna copy and paste everything I wrote in the other threads but I will say when I've quit (unfortunately never for more than a few months) my fitness has sky rocketed.

well we can juggle things all we want and come up with excuses. bottom line is AAS are hormones which help build muscle, recovery, etc. smoking has no health benefits at all.

if you are healthy and use AAS responsibly then it won't kill you. if you are not healthy and use AAS + you smoke you will hurt your lungs, heart, and other organs.

look...no one believes more than me that smoking is bad but be careful on your stance of the argument

FORCES - THE EVIDENCE - Therapeutic effects of smoking

^^^ the tobacco industry spends millions on studies to fool people. as do the dairy industry, sugar industry, alcohol industry and fast food too.

if i even smell cigarette smoke i get ill. thats the only studies i need.

i have no doubt if you are addicted to something and use it then it would be therapeutic to bring you back to feeling good.. but when you go without it you will be depressed. its a dangerous road to go on.

big difference in smoking pure tobacco and smoking a cigarette though .. its pure poison. i will grant you that.. but still inhaling anything will cause your lungs to function worse which will make it more difficult to bring in oxygen into your muscles. as bodybuilders, lifters, and gym rats we need every advantage possible... i would not even work out in a gym that was filthy much less one that allowed smoking
