Ans: You must have a good exercise regimen and sticking with it. Yes athletes will have a lower heart rate due to the conditioning of the body. The heart becomes more efficient and has to work less. The heart becomes able to keep up with the demands of the body efficiently. Now quit that smoking

Nicotine Dependence: I understand your concern. Commend yourself for attending Gym and cutting down on smoking which has improved your heart rate. Heart rate during work its 60-70 is normal. Feeling tired may be due to stresses in your life causing anxiety and depression. Not feeling tired when you smoke indicates your continued dependence on smoking. See the Physician for gradual withdrawal of Nicotine, Relaxation
