Smoking hits your stamina bad. I was reading an article by England goalkeeper David James who said he used to smoke when he played Liverpool. He could sprint 100 meters faster than anyone else in his squad, but anything further than 100 meters and he would be completely out of breath.
Goalkeepers are lucky in that all that's required of them are short bursts of activity. But he said it affected his stamina a lot, and has since quit smoking.
