Uh, trust me.

Yes you can

Toking big! Yeah- out of a big, giant dragon head or something!
Every time I go into a head shop I can't help but start laughing at all those giant bongs on the wall - Beavis and Butthead ones, Charlie brown, etc. It's so funny to me.

That was a cigarette and it was in Cleveland '04.

Nothing annoys me more than people who are so adamant about not doing something and then they go do it. Stevie preached and preached about the horribles of smoking in every interview she did after she quit, and here she is lighting up again. What a pain in the ass.

I don't recall that, but here is a different quote about why she started smoking

CHUM FM Interview - May 6, 2001
"I only smoked for thirteen years. I started smoking in 1984. (What made you start smoking?) Because I started a record and I fired the producer and moved back to Phoenix to wait for another producer to be finished and it was like a four month break and I was like just really bored and my whole family smokes Kools and I was there. I was just bored and I just started because every body else was. And all of a sudden I was just smoking and I couldn't believe it because it was never something that I wanted to do and I really loved to smoke so that was really a bummer and when you decide that you are going to stop something that you really like, that is really hard."

I must add that the "stevie and the ganja" thread title cracked me up.

[Nixxxed]

I understand about the second-hand smoke thing. My parents have smoked all of my life, and the first time I was on my own (when I was 18) I felt really weird for a few months. Then I felt better than ever, and I guessed the initial troubles were a combination of out-of-the-nest-syndrome and nicotine withdrawal.

I started smoking on my own in my mid-20s. I had one cigarette while drinking at a bar one night, and I was instantly hooked. I smoked the rest of the night after that first one, and ever since.

As for the real topic of this thread, why do you people always talk about this when I'm out?

1984? I thought I saw her smoking a cigarette in the Tusk documentary. Maybe she wasn't smoking regularly then, though... or maybe I was dreaming.

Excuse me, I have to sneeze.
Ah, Ah, Ah, AHHHH- BUSCHWA!
Jesus even I know that's total bull****.
Stevie, you're like Reagan, Stevie, we know when you're lying! . . . .

Sorry and I love 'er ta death and all, rock on Stevie, but as 'dey say,
OH-puleeeze.
Nice of her to try to detract people from it though -
at least she cares to do that! I don't seem to recall Madonna EVER
doing that, for example. See that, there's ALWAYS something
positive to say about Stevie!

Definitely, I know lots of people who do this.

As for second hand smoking being the factor in starting yourself...I always blame my dad for starting my addiction, he used to leave his stash of tobacco lying around in the living room when he went to bed, and curious as I was back then, I just HAD to try to roll one myself. The rest, they say, is history.

I'm sure Stevie still puffs them now and then. Nothing wrong with that if you ask me. In fact, if only we could puff one together, then I'd really have something to add to the 'Enigmatic quotes' thread.

She's only human, no? And being only human, I assume that she has all of the same weaknesses and fallibilities that the rest of us do.

She may have had every intention of never touching another cigarette, but stress got the best of her, and she gave in to a weakness.
And even if she did, what's the harm in her stressing the importance of quiting (which, just to keep the timeline straight, she had done several months prior to these "cigarette sightings")?
Who better to tell you how unhealthy it is for you, than someone who knows the addiction firsthand?

I'd like to also add that it's very possible that the fans who saw her smoking from a distance, might have seen her with what was actually a nicotine inhaler.

Pot:
A friend of mine who works for a magazine in L.A. told me that Stevie was smoking pot while editing the Sorcerer video someone asked her to stop and she replied Sue me, my video, my time

Cigs:
Same friend told me that Stevie is one of those annoying “former” smokers that are always bumming smokes and then being all put out when people are smoking.

Both of these stories were told with total love. My friend is kinda cynical in regard to the "business" but still adores Stevie.

If these stories are true I think Stevie is like everyone else, she might bum a cig here and there but she doesn’t think of herself as a smoker. I have many friends who preach to me about smoking all the while my cig stash dwindles when they are around. They aren’t bad their just human same for Stevie.

As far as pot goes Ms. Nicks totally still partakes IMO her and the rest of FM.
