Last week, talking to my brother on the phone, i told him about my recent kick for running. He was silent for a moment, and then asked;
"When do you smoke then? Before? Or after. Or both."
"While i'm running," i answered, " i smoke while i'm running."
He laughed.
"i'm not surprised at all..."

This is a prelude for a much longer rant and post of smoking, running and nicotine patches.
