Hi Brian--
You're the 2nd person that's said this to me today. My friend's brother is a football player and he knows I smoke (he's the only person besides my friend that knows cuz well we're smoking in the room next to his mostly)He said as long as I stayed in shape and worked out n stuff I should be ok. This summer I plan to do cardio stuff at the gym to get ready for field hockey which is in the fall. I guess I'll just watch myself 2 c what happens.

Thanks :)
Hayley
