You don't drink, don't smoke, what do you do? You don't drink don't smoke, what do you do?

Anyway, I don't know that anyone has ever made a big deal out of current players smoking, but I'd bet good money there are plenty that do. I quit but would be lying if I said burning a heater doesn't sound good every now and then.

Not sure why people assume if someone chews they smoke. I chewed before and never have touched a cigarette.

I'm pretty sure smokers (myself included) dont care what people think about them smoking. It's our decision. If we get cancer we know its our fault but we could really care less if u feel bad/sorry for us.

What kind? Chocovine is good

I have read that Craig biggio was a chain smoker. Not sure how he could ride his DUI bicycle without the chain.. But I guess he is smarter than me are.

*I stand corrected. After further research it was smokeless Tobacco that Craig biggio was addicted to. While at this time I cannot rule him out as a smoker I have no evidence of such. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused*

Pole menthol?

Smoking makes you cool. I quit cold turkey almost 5 years ago, and it was tough. But if you really want to quit, you can quit. People who say they want to quit and continue to do whatever don't really want it as much as they think they want it. Willpower is a tough thing to utelize, but is a great quality to have if you can control it.

Interesting tidbit I was told by a NYP coach. The possession of any tobacco product by any player in MILB results in a $5,000 fine (quite a bit for some of the kids). Evidently before every game, two retirees check the clubhouse and are allowed to look for any tobacco products in plain view, or in places in an arms' reach of plain view. They also inspect the dugouts from the stands to see if anyone has a dip in or something. This seems to suggest that on-field use might diminish over time. Of course I recommended switching to Nicorete (former smoker, lover of nicorette...probably less harmful to the health). Evidently the kids mostly use coffee grinds, since it has that dip texture and instant energy boost. But still, at every level of the minors, there is a pretty heavy policing of tobacco products.

As to the merits of smoking. I was a Philosophy student (all the way through getting a Masters and getting into a couple PhD programs, but going another direction). I started as an 18 year old, mostly as an affectation. Philosophers smoke, right? Probably 2 packs/week except for 2 years of dating a girl who said no "attention" if I smelled like smoke. Well, I developed asthma at 22 and smoked intermittently until about 6 months ago (I literally don't even like them anymore, which feels very foreign to me, haha). I will say, in those 6 months I've had so much more pocket (card) money than I ever though possible. I live in NY so we pay out the butt for smokes. But even assuming say, MD. Say you are a pack a day smoker. That's over $200/month. Maybe it's just me, but I'd much rather have the cards than the cough.

I will chew nicorette for a long time though. 2-3 pieces a day. Seems a minor vice. I also drink a lot less than I used to when I smoked. Probably good in the long run, too.

Can we make that PSA? Get the cards, not the cough?

i would say weed is a lot more prevalent than cigarettes. its not tested for guys on the 40 man and i know it is widely used in college.

Was just about to post this. It's funny how the argument fits the agenda.

Jeff isn't the bad guy, though. He's just misunderstood.
