chewing tobacco

ace-dragoon Posts: 58 Joined: 2002/02/17	2002/11/06, 08:47 PM hay, fellow body builders. I was wondering. I have a friend at work that works out at a gym and is a pretty good size with 18 inch guns, benching close to 300lbs. He chews tobacco as opposed to smoking. Logically I can see the benifit to your lungs in the alternative to smoking but wanted to come and ask my family about this. So, family what do you have to say about this alternative? Is it any better if one is "hooked" on tobacco? Appreciate the feed back.

It also depletes your body vitamin c. Basicly your buddy would recover faster and get better results without the Nicotine. -------------- To change it, or to create it, simply train it!

(o; Seriously, does it also chew while exercising? NOT a good idea since he can get it wrong in the throat or even in the lungs.......... -------------- - Nina :o) Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur.

Not only do you risk getting gum disease and oral cancer, you worsen your dependency on nicotine. Just my 2 cents! Take it from an ex-smoker... -------------- **_Robert_** Pain is temporary; glory is forever!
