I don't suppose it helps if you have smoked for 50 years as well as cycling as I have emphysema and one blocked blood vessel in my heart .:sad:
The study corrects for that. But then of course the study suggests an association rather than a causal link, and tells you nothing about effects at the individual level anyway.

= I'M WINNING! :hyper:



[Edited with an afterthought - that means ............ if I cycle REAL SLOOOOOW, so each journey takes twice as long. And smoke each cigarette twice as fast. So I could smoke four times more? And still be winning? Hey - there's a lot to be said for epidemiology :biggrin:.

Can you blame smoking? Some smokers live up to 100. Many non smokers die young.
