What i can't get my head around are those people, acquaitences/friends etc, who simply don't take vaping seriously at all. Some of these guys are over weight, heavy drinkers, heavy smokers in their late fourties. And i say "do you see many fat old age pensioners around ?, (i live in a seaside town in the UK which is a typical type of place which people retire to). "You have to start thinking about your health for the long term, lifes too short"....... etc.....
I gave up drinking regularly at a time in life which most ordinary people do. When i say "gave up drinking" i mean the kind of thing people do when their young in their teens and early twenties, a gallon a night type of thing. Typically most people stop going to the pubs and clubs on the weekends in their late twenties and get on with their lives, grow up get married have kids all that.
If you were to think about the type of person who drinks heavily, smokes heavily, is over weight, but on the plus side has a full time job, especially if it's a job which involves manual labour, then i'd add that now would be the time for them to start considering what they are going to do when they retire. Once retirement comes along the "window" of opportunity disappears. A full time manual job is in fact a full time "work out" which burns thousands of calories a day. Once retirement hits, that "work out" no longer exists and they'll find themselves severely overweight and suffering from ill health because of that. Imagine being a heavy drinker and smoker your entire working life, drinking 3000 calories a day in lager and eating the same amount or more per day too, not to mention smoking full time. Think about the cholesterol that turns your blood into treacle. You get stuck with all that when you retire. But these folks just don't get it, couldn't care less, and i say "don't say i never told you so later on when your hobbling around with a zimmer frame at 66 years of age because your cartilages can't cope.
So now is the time, don't leave it until later.
I never see any fat old age pensioners around, they're all as fit as a butchers dog.
Incidentally did you know that cycling burns more calories per hour than walking. About 50% more in fact. Aerobic exercise (cardio vascular) - heart and lungs. There's more body movement cycling than there is walking, so more calories get burned !. Plus cycling is low impact where walking is heavy. Cycing means you can literally sit on your backside and still burn calories where walking is quite simply a whole load of hard work with little reward. Imaging trying to exercise by walking when your in your late 60's. 100 calories per mile !!, heavy impact !, it would take 6 months for your cartilages to recover at that age.
There's one born every minute folks !.
