Best decision my team ever made!

[MonsterMag]

smoke free is the way to be

[Boski51]

What about freebaseing paintballs...it that still OK to do?

Cuz if I don't get my fix at least once a week, I turn in to a ****. My wife kicks me out for a few hours to the local buy spot and I base a case or two then I am good to go. I got my trackmarks from getting lit up behind a bunker, but i can cover those up with my shirt. The marks on the neck are hard to hide. Damn, I am jonesin again...thank GOD it's Friday!

(Later that night)
"Hi. My name is Boski and I am a paint-aholic. It's been six day, five hours, twenty five minutes and ....hua thirty seconds since I was last high on paintball....."

rehabs an option but nobody likes rehab..... Rehab is for quiters.

I don't smoke... but if I were on a team that the captain decided to make my personal decisions for me.. while I wouldn't be. If my actions interfere wtih practice then you may ask that I don't interfere with practice.. but until that point what I do is really my own business.

Then again, you probably have a more winning team then the ones I play on, I still play for fun even in tournaments

If people on our team won't let us make decision that benifit the whole team, then we don't want you on our team. We try to be more then a "team". We are more like a family of close friends.

I think of my team as friends too... but different styles, no harm in that. Like I said, you guys probably win more... running a team by democratic vote with most hte players having VETO power tends to make things hard to get done and cause divisions too (we do that).

theres this dude who smokes at our feild alot and hes like got emphaziema (sp?) now and like cant make it to the first bunker without coughing up a lung. its pretty gross

[JohnG]

That is a good desicion little harsh on the consequences though.

[tony3]

Everyone is going to be helping eachother quit.

Fireitup, I'm suprised he can even run with emphizema. Such a horrible disease. My grandpa had it, it didn't kill him though, lung cancer did...

if i were on a team with smokers id let them take there break if they were doing good during games/practice, bbut if they started doing bad id take there pack and smash it, i would this because ive grown up with my whole family smoking basically all my life and i absolutly hate it. but if they werent doing bad i mean whatever works for them

[TDonovan]

Great idea! Smoking is a destructive habit, and it will absolutely kill your physical performance.

Now they'll have a little extra $$$, a healthy body, better performance, and most importantly, more time on the field.

[teufelhunden]

tl;dr most of the thread except the first few posts.

Anyway, my take is that many smokers, when deprived of their cigs, get cranky and obnoxious. May not be a good idea to have them not be allowed to smoke for a day.. if they hustle thru a cig one can be done in under a minute.

Remember, its their choice to make, not yours to make for them. Unless they're extremely heavy smokers [over a pack a day] their lungs are not going to be so serverly impaired that they can't perform. Remember, it's paintball, not a marathon.

On top of that, I enjoy a cigar or two [ok, black and milds cuz they go quicker ] during a day of balling cuz I view paintball as a social event, and i'd consider myself a social smoker. But I guess that's the difference between going out and shooting some guys versus practice.

[Twitch04]

on the team im currently on we have a rule of no smokeing or drinking ro anything until after tournaments or practices. its a little more reasonable for the smokers and safer for the others. but good job to your cap. for makeing that decision i hate underaged smokers.(especially female ones)

Dude tony are you feeling alright man?
