Do you smoke on LD hikes?

[rickb]

This poll asks if you smoked on you last section, thru or long distance hike.

I dont smoke - either stuff, smells, looks bad, better stuff to spend money on. So thats a no for me.

Former 3 pack/day smoker; haven't since 7/22/96. How in the world do people who smoke backpack the AT?

I quit that nasty habit decades ago. It would wrinkle my beautiful dinosuar hide.

=======================================

Not sure ...I never checked. Now and then I get up quite a pace but doubtful that I generate smoke.

Mostly on breaks or in camp. I don't know of anyone who smokes while walking.

Ask B. Jack. He's been doing it for years. Course he ain't normal anyway.

I've seen Jack do it going up hill

the question/poll quite obviously neglects to take into account all the possible plants one might partake in setting fire to and inhaling into the lungs......as i am thinking you might have already concidered this... the responses, if responded to honestly, would dramatically change the results....so why is there not an answer to mark that takes into account that evil herb reefer.....some might do both some might only do one and not the other....that is definately something to ponder when concidering who smokes on LD hikes.....and how the resulst might change........and please assume nothing of my habits from this post please...i do not smoke cigarettes or cigars, especially wouldnt want to when hiking

I pretty much only smoke when I hike. Not while actually walking though.

so you're saying you smoke dope

[Freeleo]

rather pointing out that smoking cigarettes is not the only thing "smoked" on the trail and the question "do you smoke on the trail?" does not provide any kind of response to take those other things into concideration...thats all

knew that was comming!

[SGT Rock]

I like to smoke a cigar in camp every once in a while. Didn't see that one listed. And no, it ain't a blount.

Poll is meant to ask about smoking cigarettes.

Smoking weed, or stogies around a campfire, is a whole nother kettle of fish, and is not the purview of this scientific inquiry into the predilections of the thru-hiking subculture.

Thank you for respecting the researcher’s intent.

Extraneous commentary is stongly discourged, as in keeping with the bylaws and original intent of the polling manefesto laid out in the user agreement.

I smoke a lot less than normal, but still smoke. And yes, I smoke while I walk. I can also run a mile in just under 5:30.

Never have never will.

Same answer for me 'cept I can only manage to break 6:00 in the mile.

Don't know if I'll ever go for 50, but I'm aiming to try a 26 in the next couple years just to see how tough it is.
