My rebreather is what finally gave me the motivation to stop smoking. I asked my ccr instructor if he would train me as a smoker before i ever bought my rebreather. His answer was "Yes, just as long as You don't smoke for a minimum of 1 hour prior to diving". Those 1 hour periods were total hell and seemed to last for days in my craving little mind.
After I got certified, I shaved off my beard of several decades and quit smoking. Now I not only act like a dive god, but look like one too.
Wow, this is the same reason as i used to quit smoking. No instructor imposed any rule on me. Just figured it would make sense to reduce the CO in the loop!
Been 2 years now. Only smoke when i have a drink. Seem to drink a lot more. Also put on 15kg...
