Smoking right after working out

I don't know, but I've done it. I quit a few weeks ago though. I just want to be healthy all around.

Please look in the mirror and ask that again...but takout the "right after a hard workout"

Not meant to be cruel...just a harsh truth from a former smoker

What are the effects of smoking right after a hard workout????? Is it awful for you??

If you are smoking after working out you might want to invest in body glide or slow down..

I used to do this. I would smoke before I got there and right after. If anything I could go back and change, it would have been that I never smoked.

I SO used to look forward to my post-workout smoke. It was like my little reward. :smokin:

10 days into my quit, and counting. I don't miss it as much as I thought I would. Thank God for Nicorette patches.

Feel ya! I just took myself off the patch. I'm a teensy bit cranky but I'm leveling off.

Inhaling carcinogens that will eventually kill you and make your life miserable. I would say that is right up there with "awful."

Of course it's awful for you... but sometimes my cigarettes are my "reward" after a workout, haha.

I don't usually, but then I smoke in reaction to stress so working out blast my stress away for a while so it's usually a while before I need one. Hoping to quit soon, but I have to figure out how to do it safely as murder is still illegal....just sayin.

Enough said, yeah?

Uhhhhhh......:huh:

:noway:

I believe one should exercise the lungs like they do any part of the body. Pre and post workout cigarettes are a sure fire way to keep your HR up to keep burning extra calories. I used to have a mid-set smoke break.

i used to do it last month but i kept thinking of the effects to.
i do know some medical knowledge, lol that we have hair like follicles in our lungs and nose when we smoke over time the smoke burns alot of them.
Now if I think after running and clearing all the mucus out of my lungs, that was good.... yet it let my hairlike foliicles are vulnerable, so if i smoke right after, it will burn more hairs then normal and we need the hair like things to more mucus up and out of our lungs.

.. this is y smokers should not take a cough surpressent because our hair isnt moving well anyway, so see cough surpressent is supose to keep you from coughing if you take cough surpressent it makes you not cough by basicaly stopping the hair from moving mucus up and out.
So id say it isnt good in any case but probly worse after a good cleaning out of the lungs

I smoke too after I do my workouts..BUT..I am finding it less desireable. To those that are former smokers, you all know as well as I do that quitting these things for most, is worse then quitting heroin for a drug addict. The chemicals they put in them make you physically dependant.
If I were you girl..I wouldn't smoke right after. I make myself wait a little while to be sure that I get enough oxygen in my blood for a good amount of time. Somedays is easier than others, but I am not killing my lungs or heart by sparking one up as soon as I am done. We know it is NEVER good for us..lol. And I have to agree that the verbal scalding method doesn't work as everyone quits when they are ready.

I have been a non-smoker for 19 years now. I agree - smokers will not quit until they are good and ready!! My mother was very defensive about her smoking. Especially, when I and my husband had both quit and refused to let anyone smoke in our home or vehicles. She would say "I will smoke until I die". Well unfortunately she almost made it. The doctor ordered her to quit one year before she passed away at the age of 76. She had open heart surgery and emphysemia. She was on onxygen 24/7 the last 5 yrs of her life due to the emphysemia which is caused from smoking. That was an eye opener for the rest of my siblings -- they to are now smoke free.

hahahahahahaha:laugh:
