smoking - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

bean pole · 03-05-2006, 02:39 PM

I know it bad for me etc etc and yes i really should give it up but i was wondering will smoking hinder me from gaining weight and does it have any other negative effect for the body builder?

Jay 69 · 03-05-2006, 03:26 PM

It does surpress your appetite mate and also i dont have one about 1hr before my workout as i find i get alot less oxygen in my lungs.I gave up about 6 mths ago for 1mthish and was eating loads.If your are actually a bean pole like ur name suggests i would quit.Its not the best habbot in the world and the cash you save you can spend on supplements.QUIT

dude you know its right to quit but no1 can make the decision for u! as this is the gaining weight section it seems it would be the perfect time to quit - as above extra money for supplements, and extra appetite for protien!!!

bigdaftjoe · 06-05-2006, 11:35 PM

never been in this section before!! quit before it rules and ruins your life i smoked 20-30 a day for 18yrs i would have eaten them if i had to but i did it have been off for 16 months if you do and then lapse because of drink just start again the next day but do not fool yourself that you will only smoke when you drink!! if smoking wasnt detremental to lifting then why bother breathing properly when you lift?

mark suth · 09-05-2006, 11:25 AM

i gave up 5 wks a go using 4mg gum smocked for 25yrs and feel realy good at the moment put myself on low carb diet at the same time so puting weight on was not a exuse to start smocking again

dynamatiz · 09-05-2006, 06:23 PM

hey unc ..

a know what you mean, i enjoy a smoke most the time as well, especially me working long hours at work and goin 4 hours without a break, sometimes feels like a god send

but a have got to kick this s**t, been on about it for too long with no action, and got to do it

Tatyana · 09-05-2006, 10:16 PM

Gives you wrinkles, you smell YUCKY and all the money.

If people could just smoke everynow and then, no big, but the ciggies are so bloody addictive, and before you know it, most are back on 20 + a day.

I have smoked on and off for years. I have quit loads of times.

I have smoked about 3 weeks since Jan.

Some docs think that smoking can have your breast implants 'harden' easier or capsular contraction, and as I luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurve the new implants sooooooooooooooo much, NO way am I taking that risk!

Never even tried tobacco, but have been trying to give up weed for bout 6 months! I only smoke in the evening when ive got everything out the way (training & work), so it dont suppose its as bad for my lungs, but at the end of the day i know its bad and quiting is a must!

The longest ive been without in 2 years is 2 nights, but when I really think why I cant quit, it seems its only a force of habbit. I just dont know what to do with myself for the 2/3hours before bed unless im stoned! I get bored & cant get to sleep, yet during the day i dont crave!

Damn addictions!

B. Robbo · 26-06-2006, 11:36 AM

dont think the odd spliff's gonna kill ya mate. Good way of relaxing if you ask me. Maybe it would be a problem if the first thing you wanted to do on a morning was skin up but the occasional one on a night to wind down in my opinion is fine !

LondonGeezer · 26-06-2006, 11:44 AM

spliffs are a cheaper alternative to viagra.. try it.. fvckin great LOL but i gave up 3yrs ago.. tried it before sex couple months back

just stopped smoking 2weeks ago.. went 2months cold turkey before but i didnt drink for those 2months either which made things easier then i went out got lagged and started again. now its been 2weeks cold turkey and i plan to not drink a drop whilst on this 12week cycle so touch wood il do it no probz. feel ok unless i get stressed thats wen its unbareable
