You should write them a note.

 

I can understand normal people smoking/chewing tobacco, but professional athletes? It just seems very very contradictory to take extreme care of your body, but do something so hazardous that it can give you throat/jaw cancer, etc.

You should tell them to enroll in DARE, it seems to have worked for you.

I Dip, because im stupid, and human

Beckett Dips because he is also human (not sure that he isnt superhuman)

I got addicted as a sophmore in highschool, im sure his story is the same, and it isnt the easiest thing to quit, especially if you dont feel you need too.

Come on, I'm fine with people take drugs (any drugs), I just don't get WHY professional athletes would want to.

Because they're young jocks who think they're invincible and they stay in the same habit when they become old jocks who think they're invinciple. You really think responsibility is high on the list of attributes of a professional athlete?

Dipped heavy for 10yrs and still do on and off. I know it is stupid and one day I might have to deal with the repercussions but your right it's all about being human.

Not responsibility, but body maintenance. Also, I think it's a little bit past the "young jocks who didn't know better". It's been widely known for at least 20 years that tobacco is horrible for your body. It's just completely counterproductive for an athlete.

 

I have the same view for musicians as well. I will never understand why a singer or horn player would smoke. Your instrument/money maker is your voice and you are directly destroying it through your habit.

 

Maybe I'm just different, but since I was young, I also thought taking drugs was pretty stupid. It's expensive, it's horrible for you, it often makes you act like an idiot/look like an idiot, and worst of all, you are supporting companies that are RAPING you. Tobacco companies purposely try to get people hooked on poison so they can get filthy rich. I don't want to be one of the suckers they are stealing from.

I dont mind making them filthy rich i knew what i was doing when i started and i did it anyways, if someone can make money on it so be it, i choose to live life how i feel most comfortable, if it shaves some years from my life, oh well...i know that isnt the best way to look at things but i dont do drugs, i stay in shape, i dont binge drink, i just live...
