If your a middy i would just say stay away from it, I've ran attack since 8th grade i smoked pot from 9th to 10th grade and it screwed me over. Cuz i got big and my coaches wanted me to run middy but from all the stuff that went into my lungs i couldnt run the whole feild back and forth more than twice with out being winded.

Smoking anything is obviously no good for you, but if you're in good shape, the amount it actually affects your endurance is debatable.
(You might truly be amazed at the number of pro athletes that smoke, cigarettes and other stuff).
Its a good idea to not smoke anything for several hours before practicing or playing, but smoking in moderation at other times probably won't hurt you much.

Yeah dude. Drugs shouldn't even cross your mind if your SERIOUS about playing lacrosse. Even if your not, respect your TEAM enought to not do those things during the season. Off season is ok if your not trying to go to college and just looking to play during highschool. Its a huge NO NO during off-season if you want to play college ball. Honestly, there is no point to it. From my perception of it, its a social thing. Kids do it to fit in, thinking thats the only place where they can have friends, girl like them etc. Take it from me man, no point. Girls don't like it, guys don't like being you when you are f'ed up. And the girls who do smoke, stay away unless for some REMOTE reason their ABNORMALLY hot, smoke with her/them every once in a while. Stay away from them man.

true. But he used to smoke too. And chew makes your throat close up little by little. so it still aint good

your throat...chew never touches your throat, it will do damage to your lower gum, possibley your heart, and your social life, but unless your a terrible chewer and swallow it, that wouldnt happen

You need every little advantage you can get when playing. Just don't do it. You owe it to yourself.

I started smoking when i was 17 and i agree with Rock when you are in good shape it is easy to get the attitude that smoking really isnt effecting youre game. Smoking effects appear when you are older and you are not in game shape. I am 38 now and still smoke(stupid),dont start!!.........trust me.

Definitely. I wouldn't take anything that could mess up my playing ability. I worked hard to get here and play the way I am playing, why lose it to smoking.

True words.
Proven Fact.
Without preaching;
Yeah it affects your endurance. It does. You can still paly, but you will play better if you quit maybe 2months pre-season.

smoking cigarettes is a horrible idea, it just kills your body & i get pissed when people say they jsut can't quit, i dont care if you smoke but odn't ***** about not being able to quit, i know people who went from a pack a day to none..............anyways, however i have a friend that is really good/really in to playing football & before every game he goes & smokes weed.....sounds dumb i know, but diff. drugs have diff. effects on u, & weed sharpens his senses....course he's really hungry after games but he says it helps him, so i think that oculd be debatable
