I suspect what wiggins does in his personal life is his own business.

It actually makes me like him more, particularly if it annoys people.

I gather ex smokers have improved lung capacity once all the gunks out. A hangover from having to work so hard. Probably bollocks but I reckon its the reason im so orsum 😉

Are we sure it was tobacco-based? 😉

He does appear to be holding it in the 'classic' fashion, so possible...

It does look like a joint come to think of it, probably some Colombian Gold from one of his team mates.

You weren't one of those singing the praises of Critical Mass by any chance were you ?

That sort of "teenage rebellion" attitude does seem to fit in with their methods.

I'm not convinced by that pic at all. Zooming right in on the iPad the "cigarette" seems to be levitating behind his thumb and forefinger.

Not really. I positioned myself more as an independent, pointing and laughing at the 'disgusted of middleshire' approach that most posters were taking.

That sort of "teenage rebellion" attitude does seem to fit in with their methods.

I'm sure that helps you to box it off in your head regardless of the truth and if it makes you happy then who's to say it isn't right.

Brad Smoking You would think that an athlete of Brads caliber would have more respect for his lungs came as a bit of a disappointment to me and not a good advert for such a high profile personality, the tobacco companies must be rubbing their hands with glee. Poor show Wiggo.

I asked a question. Based on your attitude that if it annoys people then it's great.

You are the one making assumptions about me and the way I think. 😉

On some TV program about smoking while pregnant, some heavily pregnant woman said something similar, arguing that it would make her baby's lungs stronger, as it had to work harder in the womb. It would have been funny if it wasn't so tragic. Wrong on so many levels.

What's wrong with an occasional cigarette anyway?

I thoroughly enjoy smoking, and have never in my life been addicted to anything but biscuits.

It is possible to enjoy a puff in the same way one can enjoy a drink; is it not?

smoking is disgusting unless you're cool, then it's cool, or if you're a sexy French woman, then it's sexy.
Wiggo isn't a woman, or French, but he is cool.

Look at it another way he has a foundation to promote sport and fitness its a kind of a contradiction to then seem to be seen smoking (it is a bad habit). Team Sky invest a lot of money on Brad Wiggins you would think he would consider this before smoking.

Which is know to have certain health benefits, whereas smoking does not!

Its more about the message it sends out, hes a national hero and if kids see him as a role model they may think its cool to smoke 🙄

He is on holiday. Free choice for all including Brad. I must admit I am suprised though. Doesn't make me think any less (or more of him).
But I think he's great anyway. Even like the sideburns.

Yep, far better to be a racist, with no respect for the referee, I'd say. That's the sort of hero we want...

Cyclist has a cheeky smoke when he's off duty. Get over it!

It's not him sending a message out, it's some dodgy photographer. No-one would know he's sneaking a crafty cig/spliff/candy ciggy if they hadn't invaded his privacy.
