What an ass - asking about her smoking. it's a f'n disease - not the smoking, but the self-righteous, conformist, groupthink that has taken over the world. We are no longer allowed to be individuals. Political correctness, suppression of individuality, etc. One giant monolithic, corporate ideology. What a shame.

Joni Mitchell smoked since she was nine years ol.

Steve Jobs only ate fruit.Look were that got him.

[DrewAnti1960]

i need to smoke myself,and i smoke everything

[vaughnsalem]

we could go and say negative things about anyone ,,get a grip ,,she is a amazing person ,,the pope ,Einstein whoever had faults ,,but don't bag on about smoking ,,that is small thinking,,you must be a reform or small thinking

@slickvguy

you friggin bonehead..

joni does most of her smoking at home...no in bars...at her home she has pets..the beloved pets reek from smoke and are inhaling it 24/7,,.THATS CALLED ANIMAL CRUELTY

and what about concern for her friends and family...oh yeah thats right she dont have a family...no spouse...no children or grandchildren are in her life..especially after she slapped her long lost daughter in the face...daughter called LAPD filed report...FACT

i hope u smoke..RIP muthafucker

@YouriCarma Good point. In fact, Steve Jobs, due to his ideology, delayed treatment for quite some time. Had he not avoided traditional treatment it is highly likely that he'd still be alive today (though for how much longer, it's impossible to say).

[slickvguy]

For those who are so inclined, read Joe Jackson's opinion piece on smoking. Another favourite musician of mine, and a brilliant man. When you have an extremely talented person in front of you, to admonish them on smoking is ridiculous. When interviewing somebody who is gifted, I don't give a rat's ass about what the interviewer thinks about anything, especially not smoking. Imagine asking Einstein or Shakespeare or Beethoven about their vices. Yeesh.

[slickvguy]

@ChiroQuacker I can forgive the stupidity, but not the rudeness. I wonder why it is that people like you can't handle opposing viewpoints? Also, your post is borderline (pardon the pun) incoherent. Smoking is a personal choice and it's nobody's business. It's as inappropriate as asking her about oral sex. 2nd hand smoke is nonsense (unless you work in a bar or place where you are constantly breathing in smoke), used by puritanical finger-waggers to get their way.

@amazingenoughful

chicks who smoke..i let them toke on my tool but i wrefuse to kiss them..especially after i loose a quart in their mouth

@slickvguy

what bullshit u are...how about the secondary smoke as she puffs it into her friends faces....and when the doc tells her that persistent cough she has.."well we'll have to do a lung x-ray"...and when he shows a huge neoplasm....

well...shes right ...tobacco is a grounding herb...it will put u in the ground

travis asked a legit question...not to be mean...but how does a brilliant woman would out cancer sticks in her mouth daily for decades?

hard to believe...RIP

She managed to say 'my ora sticks out further than normal' with a totally straight face. Too easy, maybe. The woman is certainly controlled. I don't personally care that she smokes, tho I can't stand it myself. We can comfortable rate her on her musical contribution, which is vast.
