Virtually all of these famous (& non-famous) smokers die young.

Christopher Hitchens unfortunately looks like he will be one of the next.

I understand why people might take drugs to get a high but nicotine addicts seem to get no kick at all from their drug - just a probable early death.

Seems like an exceedingly stupid habit to me.

@nickwade1 I agree.

Volume is off

[bortdeluxe]

It's not the fags, it' the product "placement" that does it for me.

[flyingdrunkboy]

how do i turn the volume up more? i already have it up all the way. there must be a way to set it so i can make out the words.

NurseyNancy, Cook died of a gasto-intenstinal hemorrhage, drink related, and quit smoking shortly after.

Certainly I agree people should be informed of the health risks of smoking, but I don't know if such a militant attitude is altogether helpful to your cause. One might be forgiven for thinking you work for a tobacco company. You know, victory in the belly of the beast.

[rudieruddock]

"quit smoking shortly after" is worthy of Cook himself!

[hounf6]

LOL grate line mate Cook would be Proud of that one

[ShoeiBoy]

genius!

[drummer1brt2gzs]

Haha! great man!

[deejayhart]

NurseyNancy, you might be right healthwise, but I imagine that you are not a brilliant comic, have no notable literary output, aren't a capable musician or an artist who has produced any work that the world might enjoy.

Not to suggest creative people are smokers or vice versa, but I do suggest you an an idiot making totally inappropriate remarks.

[Mayna00]

He is such a legend!

[ExplodingBellEnd]

The greatest man to ever smoke a cigarette.
