Didn't Mario smoke as well? I had a buddy who would want to bum cigarettes when training for an Ironman... said the irritation would strengthen his lungs, but he's still a potential candidate for a Darwin award for many other reasons.
I'm 70 days + on the no smoking front now... still crave them hard every now and then though and have only been fishing once since I quit. I used to quite enjoy waiting for a fish I put down to gather up it's courage again while having a DoMoreier... damn Surgeon General
