Subject: RE: Smoking and Diving
I find that a lot of people who work dive boats smoke...the ones with 
a bit of sense do it while the divers are under water.  The fact is 
that quitting cigarettes is harder than quitting almost any other 
drug, including heroin.  I certainly don't condone it, but being an 
ex-smoker myself, I can understand it.

Cheers.
