Akiyama was not a trained astronaut, scientist nor engineer. During his time aboard Mir, Akiyama gave live reports each day documenting life aboard the station, but his apparent discomfort led to him being described as the first "antihero in space". He described his struggles such as space sickness and craving for cigarettes:During training, he quit smoking cigarettes, having previously smoked four packs a day. Before liftoff, when asked what he looked forward to most upon his return to Earth, he said "I can't wait to have a smoke". His fellow cosmonauts later reported, in regards to his nausea, that they "hadn't ever seen a man vomit that much."
Why has nobody made an anime about this guy???
I used to smoke half a pack a day and that was bad enough I had to be hospitalized for high blood pressure.
I think they probably put a lot more bullshit into cigarettes than they used to.
i mean nicotine both hardens your arteries and constricts your blood vessels so it tracks without that
Well I’m not gonna pretend that smoking used to be good for you either haha
I work with someone who will smoke 20 per day. He’ll smoke 2 on the bounce regularly.
