Smoking in Tour de France
Forget about bread and water! That’s the last thing bike racers wanted during the Tour de France in 1920. Instead, they opted for something they thought at the time was better which was to share a cigarette. Granted in those days no one really knew about the risks of developing lung cancer. They just thought smoking was cool. It also distracted these men from the pain and suffering they experienced while professionally cycling in this sports event.
