The Manchester United Thread

Tbh footballers smoking always made headlines. Rooney enjoying some candy also made news.

Saying that, professional players should take care of themselves better. Occasional smoking shouldn't be a problem though.
 
Will an occasional cigarette damage your health?

Studies can now measure the immediate changes in our bodies as we smoke a single cigarette, from a rise in blood pressure to a change in the gases in our blood stream.


Here's what happens when we smoke a cigarette:


Although we may feel more relaxed as we smoke, our blood pressure and heart rate both increase, the heart pumps differently, and the blood flow to the capillaries decreases.
Blood carbon monoxide levels increase. "Carbon monoxide takes the place of oxygen in some of your red blood cells, and it sticks on to the red cells for days, preventing oxygen from being carried by these cells", warns Currow.
Other changes happen in our airways: the little finger-like cilia which keep airways clear of phlegm are 'stunned' by chemicals in the smoke and tiny muscles in our airways contract, constricting them.
There are also measurable changes in the immune system.
These and other changes have a cumulative effect and over time they can eventually lead to cancer (including cancer of the lung, pancreas, oesophagus, and bladder) as well as non-cancerous, but potentially lethal, conditions such as heart and vascular disease and lung diseases like emphysema.

Probably his employer, who is paying him £70,000 per week to be a fit sports person (I'd imagine?).

Most probs but it's not like it's stopping him from performing. Even the likes of Messi has been caught smoking on camera, I should think most footballers do. But I also think they should be careful not to get caught as press just have a field day.
 
Give him a break Anthony, like many guys, he enjoys a cigarette with his 12 pints of bitter. Quick *** before picking up his doner kebab. Is it really such a crime? ;)

Smokes, Kebabs and Bitter?? Needs locking up, He does ;)
Should be Guinness and an atomic Burger from Eddie Rob'yer pockets.


Edit: That might not make sense... Don't know if you have Eddie Rockets in England.

LOT cheaper Stateside. Been to two in Virginia and OKC. Up there with the best burgers I've ever had.
 
Best I had over there was in The Tavern on the green in Central Park.
They use Brisket and Shortrib to make the burger.
