Meh.
If he were a real hard-ass, he would smoke filterless camels.
I saw that yesterday. My Hero!!
If he endorsed a product, I may think about buying it.
He could take it one more step further and wear a pair of
Dark Shades as he ran.
The ultimate in manly nonchallance.
that’s why I dont get why the PGA was on Daly’s nerves about smoking. If anyone even read (and saw) how many times British and US golfers had a pipe between their lips when they took out their drivers back in the early half of the 20th century. Harry Vardon and Ted Ray were smoking almost at the start of every hole at US tourneys before they played at Brookline.
That's a funny closing line!
Lucky Strike, they’re toasted.
He should take shots of Jack too.
Keeping smoking and running cool since ‘72!
I am guessing Chinese cigarettes are worse than filterless Camels. I think a study showed that they have more nicotine, carbon monoxide, and impurities, and even the low tar ones have higher tar than the U.S. It’s not like they care about the health of their subjects.
” Harry Vardon and Ted Ray were smoking almost at the start of every hole at US tourneys before they played at Brookline.”
Harry died of lung cancer.
It’s all about good genes some live to a 100 no matter what they do.
The rest of us are S.O.L. no matter what we do.
He’s a health nut compared to Nicolino Locche. Nicolino hated training and the way he made weight was by smoking - up to 50 cigarettes a day! But boxing was his career. He was an enigma and more intriguing than Chen.
Many people do not realize there are two ways of smoking.
The current way is to inhale the smoke into the lungs and then blow it out.
The OLD Indian way, called “Smoke drink”, is to suck the smoke into the mouth, then swallow it to the stomach, then burp it back out quietly. It totally bypasses the lungs.
My family used the old method and lived into their late 80s with no lung problems.
Maybe the runner uses the old method.
I do not smoke at all!
He may not be the hero we want but he is the hero we need.
I had a Drill Instructor who smoked Marlboro Reds, but he could outrun anybody.
Have you ever tried Chinese cigarettes? Camels are like Kools in comparison. Lol.
“Smoke Yak Dung Smokes. A coupon for 10% off a lung transplant in every carton.”
Reminds me of Rosi Mittermaier. Used to watch her chain smoking up the chairlift and winning World Cup skiing events. She took a few years off to have kids and came back (still smoking) and won a few more before retiring.
Better lungs than 3/4 of the world's population if he's running marathons at a 3:28 rate at his age.
Ever read about the pre-WW2 Army or Marine Corps? Forced 20 mile hikes with full packs and gear. They all smoked.
