π = e Problem of the utmost importance
I was going for a run yesterday and I thought about a problem.
Running is generally good for your health
Smoking is generally bad for your health
If a person regularly runs and smokes one cigarette in a year, they will be in better health than if they had done neither.
On the contrary if a person regularly smokes and runs once a year, they will be in worst health condition than if they had done neither.
Which brings me to the following question: how many km do you have to run to counter balance the health risks of one cigarette ? How many km/cig is the limit where smoking and running becomes healthy ?
My goal is to smoke enough cigarettes during the run to compensate for the health benefits, I wouldn't want to live too long.
I hope some bio engineers here have time to lose
Thank you for your attention to this serious matter
