Stop hallucinating !!! no it wont, no matter how much exercise you do, smoking is counter productive, it damages your lungs and it's ability to dissipate oxygen to the rest of the body, so stop fooling your self, so either quit smoking or quit boxing, keep doing what your doing and an azz whooping will convince just the same.....stop smoking that zhit.

if ur talkin about smoking weed, i promise i had myself convinced during my first 9 amateur fights that i could get high and still train. then i wondered why i continued to lose fights against bad opponents lol. then i moved away, found a new gym, and most importantly didnt smoke weed and had drastic improvement in my following fights. so no u cant get better.

El Matador
Im sure Ricardo Mayorga might know what it feels like to smoke and then fight gasping for air, sucking in so much that the mouthpeice got jammed and broke the jawbone.But I think Mayorga was bullsh!ting. No way he was smoking lets say a pack a day. I mean c'mon sooner or later how do to breathe? And Mayorga was a bloat at 154-160.

You gotta remember cigarette tobacco has alot more attitives and carcinogeans that lets say a fine cigar. Cigars you dont inhale in your lungs to enjoy it craftsmanship and flavors/spices.Anybody who smoke half a pack or more of cigarates regardles if there lights or super lights, you still taking in smokeand are at high risk of cancer in the future.

Also the paper thats used for cigarettes has a chemical in it that makes the cigarette burn at a certain rate.And that also is getting into your lungs as well.
