I remember all to well Jim Fixx "Mr. Grape Nuts" keeling over from a coronary back in '84. Though I didn't know he was a smoker!?!? What the fuck is that all about? Reminds me of a meme a few weeks back where one 'tard said "cure lung cancer and we can smoke safely". Jim Fixx must have thought "Since I'm a athlete, I can smoke all I want and its a wash."

Guess not Jim. -LB
