Somebody said I have some kinda buncha time behind me (without nicOtine), and I'm takin her word for that. But I wanna pass along this scienterrifical observation:
Before I quit smoking, I bicycled one mile once, about a year ago ago. My lungs didn't hurt but my legs went numb from lack of oxygenated (new word?) blood.
My brain kept calling to my lovely limbs, "Pedal, damnit, pedal!!" But the only reply was, "Sorry we can't come to the phone right now, please leave a message."
Today I biked 10 miles, and it was like a ride in a rocket chair--eeeeeeeasy, albeit considerably sloooooooower (no flaming farts propulsion).
Apparently my legs and headquarters have each other on speed dial now-- as long as Brainiac stays away from nasty Nic.
UPDATED GOALS
Quit smoking.

I don't know if he was saying "no gas" forerica, but at least he was long gone before the emissions made themselves know to the pedestrians.
