Does Keith still smoke..?? ...from Ian
Jan 3^rd, 2013 at 2:55am

I know he has super tamed down the drinks. I know he had to pull it together so he can go on. As well, I know it isn't really fashionable to smoke on TV these days, but I have not seen Keith smoke a cigarette in a solid while....

I realize nobody smokes in interviews now really.. but I thought Keith would still light up. Crazy question... but DOES KEITH STILL SMOKE??

I have not seen him with a cigarette in a long while... Any idea what the status there is? When is the last time any of us can recall him with a smoke?

I didn't know he was smoking at the PPV. Well ...there it is...my questions answered. Thanks much guys. He has scaled back it seems... although nobody really smokes on TV anymore.. in interviews or anything. As well, nobody really smokes on stage anymore.

So while he may of scaled back, perhaps he is just following this eras protocol...
