How can one deal with negative social activities?

Knowing your triggers and being strong willed enough to stay away from situations that you are not strong enough to deal with.

Which people are most likely to fall into these bad habits?

Anyone can!

What is the worst thing that a bodybuilder can give into?

Smoking! I'm an ex smoker and feel a huge difference in performance after a couple of cigs during a night out. And trifle, my dad makes the best trifle!

Have you ever been tempted by any of these things? How did you cope with it?

Cigs, yes. Punishment by barbell!

ex smoker here too been 6-7years since i gave up , while the addiction is long gone , i must say that there has been times where i have been tempted to have a smoke , thankfully i think of how much better i feel since i gave up , and then the other thing is looking at the price of a packet of smokes

I was never a heavy smoker but still a hard habit to break!
