I used to smoke a lot playing, but I stopped, and one of the hardest situations was to stop during poker games

I am not a smoker.
I think it is not recommended to smoke during a gaming session as it can impact a player's concentration.
So, it is better to smoke during the break.

How does this affect your concentration?
I used to smoke while playing On-line, but after suffering a Heart Attack I gave it up, Smoking has no beneficial effects on anything you do, It is all in your mind that it helps you to concentrate, because it doesn't. In fact Smoking actually kills Brain cells quicker than the polluted air around you.
Giving up Cigarettes has actually helped my Bank Balance over the last ten years as I am now earning more interest on my savings because I can invest more, It is really strange that I actually get calls from my bank manger now saying I have too much money in my current account and need to move it. Something that never happened when I Smoked.

if I smoke, and although it does not help my health, it relaxes me or calms me down. especially in tournaments that are very extensive. I don't recommend it but everyone is an adult and has their responsibilities.

I smoke during the break, but not always!!! When I play for a long time and want to have a snack, there is not enough time for a smoke break !!!

It depends on what you smoke. Hahaha! I've been a chain smoker since I was 16 years old, and I quit five years ago when I started training Jiu Jitsu.

In my personal case... I don't smoke... but many people like it... it gives them satisfaction and they relax... so I don't think it's a negative while playing poker... it's matter of taste...

It all depends on how the substance acts on you. I know PRO players who use it during sessions and several who don't. I particularly do sometimes. But each to their own. The most important thing is to study and seek to apply this knowledge. Good luck at the tables.

in the big world series many players are drinking water during the tournament others are with their own drink; it must be a personal detail of the player, there are players who spend the entire tournament just drinking water; your game will be active as long as you know what is happening in the tournament; when you are not in control and your strategy is not working well, chances are your game will go down. I keep my strategy done! before the game starts

changing strategy during the tournament is not an option; smoking must stick to your strategy, as you have chosen to add this smoking action to your game.

Sometimes yes , it takes some of the edge off and I can play better more focused… or maybe it’s just an illusion

After smoking, the game was going much better for me than without. Better concentration and much more fun to play.

I don't smoke, which means I can't get a good answer

I have been smoking for 35 years, and now I have quit smoking and have not smoked for 2 years, which is very happy. Comparing playing poker when I smoked and playing poker now that I don't smoke, I can say that my concentration is higher now. Smoking, I think, interfered with poker.
Respect man! Tell me how did you do it?

If I used to smoke when I played, that reassures me. But it's been a while since I smoked and now I'm trying to maintain that focus without drinking or smoking.

I'm not a smoker, so... It only affects me when others smoke at the table I'm sitting and no windows are open or something.
