on 2/22/2006 Try not to have a cigarette before coming into the gym to work out. You don't realize it, but you smell like an ashtray, and the people who have to do their cardio workouts next to you will have to hold their breath. They are already taking in more oxygen by virtue of their workout, and in close proximity, you are polluting their air supply.
