Castrogiovanni smokes, he is an Italian international and pretty handy as well. I know smoking is bad but it is hardly the heroin of the masses the Australian media claims it to be.
I think that this is a moot point as seems to be the main feedback on this thread. There are a number of TWF players who do on occasion and what they do in their spare time (as long as it is legal) is up to them.
The Main point is will JOC coming back to the Force help or hinder the team.

[QUOTE=Basha69;348576]And so many of the finest sportsmen - Johan Cruyff, Diego Maradona, Eddie Merckx, Keke Rosberg, James Hunt, Ian Botham, Shane Warne - have been committed puffers. Bobby Charlton smoked at half-time in the World Cup final; Serge Blanco put away 40 per day while winning two rugby grand slams with France. In the past 18 months, footballer Dimitar Berbatov, tennis player David Ferrer and champion jockey Seb Sanders have all come out (or been outed) as smokers. 'To some extent you can overcome smoking's adverse effects by heavy training,' says Professor Martin Jarvis, a clinical psychologist at UCL who is an expert on smoking. 'The nasty things from tobacco smoke are not going to impact immediately on your capacity to run, jump and so on. They will accumulate over time, though, and creep up one day.' It happened to Cruyff - he smoked constantly as a player and a manager, until a double heart bypass in 1991.
I take it you are a smoker Basha, judging by your knowledge of famous smokers or that you could be bothered spending the time researching this![]()
