I worked with a guy in the 1990s who smoked like a chimney and was a serious cyclist. He did the "Ride across Saskatchewan" a few times, placing quite well while smoking a pack of cigarettes along the way. Madness and he said half the fun was how much it pissed everyone off to get passed by someone sucking on a cigarette.
