"occasionally coughing to clear the flem from her throat and lungs" ...Ernie, call it what it is: She hacked her ass off to cough up the tar and sludge from smoking - and it likely this happened during exercise as smoking and exercise are like two opposite sides of the spectrum!
I would love it if you shared how she rationalized or justified smoking, given she must of had some commitment to fitness if she biked every morning - please - do tell!!!

: In the early 1990's I dated and briefly lived
: with a girl who always smoked when she used
: her exercycle. After briefly using the
: bathroom when she woke up in the morning she
: would get on her stationary bicycle, light
: up a cigarette and begin pedaling.
:
: Each morning she would chain smoke three
: cigarettes while riding her bike,
: occasionally coughing to clear the flem from
: her throat and lungs. She claimed she
: started this exercise routine when she was
: 13 years old and when we were together she
: was 22.

: Anyway, her exboyfriend moved back to town
: and I got dumped pretty quickly (he was her
: true love and while I was pissed off at the
: time, I understood. He also had a career
: while just had a job).
:
: A year later she left town, married him and
: had his daughter. I haven't heard from her
: since 1998.
:
: I know this reply has nothing to do with
: what you originally wrote, but when I read
: your post I immediately thought of her. I
: guess I still miss her even though she has
: moved on.
:
: Thank you for the memory.

: I've recently started swimming again, and it

:
: Does anyone know how much exercising negates
: harmful smoking effects? I know it doesn't
: completely negate them, but I'm sure it has
: to make me less likely to get some long term
: effects. Has anyone done any research?
:
: I've definitely cut back on smoking so I
: don't feel as obsessed with it right now.
: Now I feel like its just something I do and
: I tend to smoke now only when I really feel
: the need to.
