Not really. I smoke, and I can pass all 10's with an A except for PSM Oni, which I can only get to the very end of. _________________

I've had asthma since 6th grade (I'm in 12th now) so unless my math fails me, I've hade it for about 6 years. I've been smoking for about 3 years, but I smoke lights. Because of my asthma, I can't handle full-flavors all that often and especially now that I play DDR. _________________

I smoke a lot. I play ddr. Never the twain should meet. Sure i can pass like everything( cept LOM, PSM, and it goes without saying PSMO). But ya know what? Big whoop. Most of the smokers I know can pass those songs, but they are all young as well. It is a little easier to deal with breathing when you are young and your body can take that kind of abuse. I say this much though. If we dont stop now, or very soon, we are going to have problems breathing hard walking to the bathroom, let alone trying to pass a cata. Payback is a bitch. No one should take pride in the fact that they can fc Max 300 and that they smoke. And at the sae time, no one should be pointing there fingers saying you are a stupid moron and should die cause you smoke. If your not part of the solution, your only part of the problem. Now that i have said that I am going to take a smoke break. Hopefully the last, but realisticly I know it wont be. _________________

It's funny, because I was smoking when I read that. But you make a good point. I'm not proud that I smoke and can play DDR. Maybe it was my subconcsious (spelling?) that told me to make this thread to make all of us realize that we should quit. (though I probably won't anyway) _________________

I smoke but not that much. Maybe 2 packs in one week. Unless I'm out drinking, but I don't really do that any more. I don't smoke weed any more because it's stupid. Yeah, but I did it like 4 or 5 times and I regret it. _________________

Funny thing is, all the people I know that play DDR and smoke are just as good if not better than me. _________________

That's excactly why. You're getting less stamina because you just started and your body has not had time to accept this new substance. _________________

You know smoking is bad for you, esspecially if you consider yourself a pro DDR player, and if you are doing challenge songs it would be worse for you, cause you'd be hacking and coughing and all that crap. Really smoking and excercise has such a huge contrast to one another...Excercise is Healthy smoking isn't thats such a contradiction, I'm not posting anything hate towards anyone, but really if you smoke and try to do those fast songs and do about three of them on heavy or challenge...youre putting your body through stress, Then later on you'll suffer some lung problems...and be seeing the doctor for problems that youre too young to be having.
Putting something of good use and health, then destroying it silently is a waste. _________________

No not really.
If I get tired or worn out from DDR it's because I'm fat and I have asthma.
Yeah, I know I'm not in the best condition to play DDR but I never let anything stop me when I'm determined to do something.
| then you really shouldnt be smoking if ur fat and play ddr and you have asthma. god talk about so friggin unhealthy _________________

While I was at the arcade playing DDR one time, I saw a guy playing and he was all coffing ad weezing really bad. I thought he was sick or something. But then I noticed that on the top of his jacket he had a pack of cigerretes. I don't know if it really affects someone if you smoke and play DDR at the same time, just an observation. |

I smoke maybe a pack and a half a week or a little less, and play DDR everyday. It hasn't affected my ability that I can tell, I don't really get out of breath unless I play like three really hard songs in a row (what happens to kill my stamina more often is that my legs or ankles start to hurt.)
Most people aren't in perfect physical health yet they manage to play DDR just fine. Smoking would probably only hurt your DDR abilities if you had been smoking, like, a pack a day for 5 years. |

I unfortunately just started smoking...
Peer pressure is not good -_-
But i thought to myself I've always wanted to try smoking at least once...and now I have.
I'm not addicted or nothing, I smoke about 2-3 cigarettes per week, so I'm not even a daily.
It hasn't affected my DDR performance yet. _________________

Well, you only live once
And actually you'd probably need to smoke a considerable amount for at least 5-6 months or more for it to start affecting like your breathing, lung capacity, etc. _________________

Even if smoking may not affect your skills at DDR, I still don't want to end up being like that.. |

I did not take up this habit to be one of those "cool" guys, other outside effects took ahold of me and introduced me to nicotine. At the moment me and two of my buddies smoke and play ddr, to say the least it has not effected our play at all. I can still do 10 footers quite good as I used to prior to smoking.
I should try to give this stuff up though, eventually...
