“I’m a smoker and gun owner in DC, I can’t even get a date.” Damn if that ain’t the truth!

Nothing repels women like Latakia. I used smoke a pipe.

Smoking is disgusting, antisocial, and unhealthy.

My father smoked a cigar a day for seventy five years—it killed him when he was 96.

Lol.

I smoke (tobacco) pipes and cigars. My wife of twenty years has bought me pipes and cigars.

Then there was my grandmother—smoked one cigarette a day after dinner—until they finally killed her....

at age 106.

Good luck outlasting her!

I used to smoke Djarums, but I thought they were Indonesian?

Well, I found out why (HHS):

Reasons for Screening in Health Care Settings: Domestic violence is prevalent among women

Screening for Domestic Violence in Health Care Settings

As well, apparently some health orgs don't discriminate, so they assume everyone is either a potential victim or, in the case of males, homosexual.

They won't like my response if I'm asked.

I could be mixing up my Gitanes and Gauloises with other foreign brands. It’s been quite a while since I conducted that Eurasian cigarette smoking tour, back during the Carter Administration. I may be scrambling a few facts here and there.

I recall trying a few uncommon American brands as well during that time. One brand was Nat Sherman cigarettes, that were sold in 12 different colors. The box looked like a painter’s palette.

—”It depends on Season and training.”

If you follow a regular training schedule, HRV may be helpful. A Polar chest strap monitor, my phone, and the free Elite HRV app; there are many HRV apps.
Yes, for the best results, you need to take a morning reading every day to obtain a baseline. that is the hard part.

The main feature that I used was the Readiness score, on a few occasions it would suggest that I NOT do my scheduled high-intensity intervals. Not too often, but if I was out late and low on sleep...

HRV is the real deal.

From what I understand, walking is the best exercise you can do.

There’s a difference between anecdotes and statistics.

True—the lives of real people are anecdotes.

This has been going on for years, now.

Some people have said that they’ve actually been asked about firearms in the home. That didn’t happen to us, but we were asked other questions that didn’t seem the purview of a PCP.

The question you should be asking is how my grandmother did what she did?

I know the answer to that question—and I am trying to replicate her behavior as best I can.

I could not care less what some low integrity agenda driven “experts” claim.

One of her tricks—pay attention now because this could add years to your life—was she told me:

“Never believe anything they say on TV.”

In the modern age that means never believe anything the experts say.

Never believe “statistics”.

Follow this rule and you too can live long and prosper.

P.S. That does not mean smoke three packs of cigarettes a day. Extreme habits of any sort are bad for you. But hating on all cigarettes and cigarette smokers is an error.

I think people who hate on smokers are particularly sensitive to tobacco smoke. I grew up around smokers. Ninety percent of the girls I dated smoked. I smoked between 14 yrs of age and twenty four. It doesn’t bother me in the slightest.

What cracks me up is people who hate on smokers and then live in pollution filled urban areas like Manhattan or Los Angeles.

I live way out in the sticks—and most likely I will outlive almost all of the city folks.

Nothing like a smoking thread for an unsolicited lecture!
