Poll: Six Percent of Runners Smoke

The strangest story in this LA Times article about endurance athletes who light up involves a smoker who lost a bet in the The Pikes Peak Marathon because he decided stop for a cigarette at the top. "In a recent online poll sponsored by Runner's World magazine, 2% of the 2,500 people who responded said they smoked, unbeknownst to their running friends. About 4% said they smoked but that their running
buddies were in the know."
