Tobacco and Athletic Performance

• Don’t get trapped. Nicotine in cigarettes, cigars, and spit tobacco is addictive

• Nicotine narrows your blood vessels and puts added strain on your heart

• Smoking can wreck lungs and reduce oxygen available for muscles used during sports

• Smokers suffer shortness of breath (gasp!) almost 3 times more often than nonsmokers

• Smokers run slower and can’t run as far, affecting overall athletic performance

• Cigars and spit tobacco are NOT safe alternatives
