| Hi, I am 26 years old male and I am exercising body building for several months. Also I am smoker and I know people would tell that these two things can't go together. I would like to hear why I can't smoke after exercise. Is it so bad or it is just trick to make me quit smoking? |

| Hi, it is not some trick and I may tell you that smoking after exercising is even worse that usual smoking. When you finish your exercising your lungs are working faster, you are breathing faster. Also your heart is pumping faster and you are just involving your organism more to the carbon dioxide. |

In 2004, I was 15 and a half stone. I drank like a fish and smoke 15 fags a day. In 2005, I decided to do something about my lifestyle. I quit drinking (3 binges a week) ate better and took up cycling.
People laughed when they saw me (Fatty) on a bike. But I kept at it. Two mile rides became 10, then 15, then 20, then 25, THEN up to 60 in a day sometimes.
In 2005, I cycled on and off road a total of 2000 miles. In 2006 - 3,000 miles. In 2007, I clocked up the same.
I am now 12 stone 4 pounds, and no-one is laughing at me now. I was 47 when I started pedalling.
But in all that time, I never gave up the fags. In fact, I still stop for one - before I need a rest. I suffer no breathing problems, and very few muscle aches. My blood pressure is excellent - though I admit I take a 10 mm tablet every day to control it (from 2004).
Also during that time, I was aware that my kidney function was diminishing at roughly 3% a year - polycystic disease.
I don't really know what I'm trying to say here. Well, I suppose I'm hinting at.... what harm have the fags done to me. I am fitter now than I was when I was 25.
I still cycle every second day - minimum 10 miles, and I still suffer no ailments whatsoever - thank the Lord. At the moment my kidney function is around the 25% mark, and yet I can still clock up to 80 miles a week.
Am I a mystery - or what |
