I never knew sports men smoke... Balotelli will always be Balotelli.

Apparently berbatov is a smoker, my mate bumped into peter crouch having a fag out side a pub in london when he was at spurs

and modric came bac pre season 2 years? in a row and had a mystery throat virus? and has commented that 'everyone in his country smokes'. but saying that i'm pretty sure smokers are in the minority.

And then there was the 60 a day Socrates......

Cryuff was a smoker too for the record.........as was carmine in his younger days

Me too in my younger days. Only 20 max on and off for 20 years before a girlfriend I wanted to keep refused to have me in the house (bed?) unless I stopped smelling bad.

Pity I didn't meet her 20 years earlier - have just been diagnosed with asthma tendencies following bronchitis and pneumonia that probably emanate from my smoking days. Not particularly invasive (still running and swimming fine), but I could do without the prospect of expensive inhalers (once I give up UK tax residence) for the rest of my natural. Having a baby of 3 yo at a ripe old age I could do without the prospect of 5 years being sliced off my life too!

Not at all bitter. C'est la vie

But Smoking is a mugs game

loads of footballers smoke. rooney's a ten a day silk cut man. the amateur. berbatov loves a puff, didi hamann smoked like a chimney, zinedine zidane was a smoker too. when you just train and play every day you get away with it more.

Yeah i've seen more of my family dead prematurely through cigs than i like 2 remember. And Sorry to hear bout your diagnosis santi You could try these exercises. they, done on a 5ish mins daily or even less but still a regular basic will 100 % 4 sure help you, 1/ amnaloma viloma and 2/ kapal bhati, they are yogic breathing exercise's I could run through how to do them, but its probably easier 2 Google them and find some decent video or instructions, BUT DO forget about all the 'mystic hippy bollacks' that accompanies them they are just bloody good exercises and work wonders 4 the air passages. If you work and are ok with these, there are other things i can show you that will help.
