Do any of you smoke? At the track where I do intervals there's a guy there who practices starts from blocks, does a few sets of 100's and 200's and smokes a cigaette btween sets. Do sprinters not need their lungs?

i don't, but i think its hilarious when runners do smoke, like in that Roger Banister movie in the begining when that dude puts down his cigar before the mile, and picks it up after he wins, that was great
Distance guys can smoke too.
It's not the healthiest of things to do, but the thought that a cigarette or few puffs will destroy your lungs is ridiculous. It's not going to help you and I wouldn't recommend it, but it'll take a period of smoking to make any kind of effect. Even then, it might only be short-term.
