    I knew a guy in the army who would smoke a cigarette right before and directly after his 2 mile PT test run. Dude would run it in under 12 minutes. Some people are just built differently than us normal humans.

      Nicotine is a potent stimulant. If you don’t smoke all the time and get tarred lungs then I could see why that would be very bit official. like running a marathon on Adderall to a lesser degree

      Had a whole gang of dudes like this in the Marines too, you said they’re just built different, I say they’re just nicotine addicts.
