Opinions - Did Scwarzenegger smoke illegal stogie?

[Euphoric]

Arnold Schwarzenegger fired up a stogie during his trip to Canada last week, but did he break U.S. law to do it?

The California governor was headed to Ottawa airport Wednesday when his motorcade made a detour to a hotel. There, Schwarzenegger picked up a Cuban Partagas cigar in a shop and an aide paid the $14.83 bill, the Ottawa Citizen reported.

Under trade restrictions, U.S. citizens are prohibited from buying Cuban cigars anywhere in the world. Scwarzenegger's office wouldn't confirm or deny whether he indulged in a forbidden smoke.

And let's not forget good old Arnie puffin' on a J in pumping iron

And he has consumed a lot of steroids!

If you've seen Pumping Iron, he smokes a joint in it... on the DVD there is an interview and he admits to smoking the joint in the end and says, "yes it was marijuana, yes i inhaled" he goes on to say "yes it was the 70's and we were all using steroids, they had just come out and we did not know the adverse effects".... then he had bypass surgery, whether it was related to steroid use is possible.

His father had a heartcondition of which he died, so probably it might have been the steroids, maybe not.
There´s no proper proof, of them causing a severe heart condition, it even indicating, that they help after heart surgery to reduce stress, by elevating the left ventricular outflow at a lower resistance, by beefing up the septa.

Schwarzeneggar has a steroid-enhanced physique.

oh who really cares, swim knows if he was in canada that he would smoke as many of those as he could before leaving.

Don't you understand that it's a crime against democracy to use anything from Cuba, whether it's cigars or sugar??

[0utrider]

[Paracelsus]

That was meant ironically.
