Does Stevie still smoke?

Cigarettes that is... we know she still likes the wacky weed

. I ask because it seems her voice has improved some since Trouble In Shangri La. I was just listening to some interviews from the Trouble In Shangri La era, and it's very obvious she was still a heavy smoker then... she sounded so gross! But it seems her speaking AND singing voices are both clearer and higher these days. Anyone have the 411?

From what I understand she use to smoke 2+ packs of KOOLs a day, but she has quit. I read that she used the patch, or something... Maybe it was the gum... Either way, she doesn't smoke anymore. (FROM WHAT SHE TELLS US, lol)

I suspect that after she went through her "change of life," she probably started up with some kind of estrogen replacement therapy. Ask Suzanne Somers- it sure has kept her all perky and girly after all these years.

She suposedly has not smoked in years. (cigarettes that is)

Maybe she thinned her rib cage & her upper torso by fasting, & then took treatment for COPD.

She quit in '98. I remember because she did Mix Fest that year and had just quit smoking. She'd lost weight too and looked and sounded so wonderful. It was like, "She's baaaack." Awesome. She did use the patch.

There were reports of people seeing her smoking on the SYW tour but who knows...

YAY!!! I love Stevie as a smoker. I saw a picture of her smoking and was like, somehow that seems to fit her. I know it's bad for the health, but it seemed to fit her. A girlfriend of mine tried to convince me that she was still on drugs after we watched a couple of videos together one night. I saw her point in one video that's on youtube, but she could have just been really into the moment... I will post video when I find it. I am sure she is all clean, sober, and smoke-free. Surely

P.S.
Why is it everyone thinks that she smokes grass? I would have never pegged her for that.

Oh, she totally smokes weed. I think the reason is the demos that are out where she talks about it. LB hit the pipe a few times on the DR doc, and I'm sure he shared...

I have the destiny rules doc and I never saw a pipe. Please tell me where to look... I doubt very seriously that it is in there.

Lindsey clearly hits the pipe when they are in the studio with Mark Needham. The segments are sped up so you have to watch it in slow motion. It's near the end of the segment, I believe the music for Miranda is playing over it, and Stevie has left the control room. It's John, Lindsey and Mick sitting at the table and Lindsey reaches back behind him to his left, gets the pipe and lights it - you can see the smoke rise and he does it a couple of more times.

I believe the date that she has mentioned as when she quit smoking was January of 1997 ..5 months prior to the taping of The Dance..not certain if she has relapsed since then,

Watch the Destiny Rules doc. When she is rambling about who buys records and double albums and such, she's as high as a kite. Just look at her eyes. If you've ever smoked pot, or known anyone who has smoked pot, that look is unmistakable.

There is also a demo of The Dealer where she says, and I quote:

"Alright, where's the dope? I need to smoke a joint, at least a little bit of a joint. Hey, so I'm a rock and roll hippie."

Ok... I thought that you saw an actual pipe lying around. I knew Lindsey would be way tooo on top of things for that. I will agree with you- the woman does look a little stoned there. HAHAAA

She total does.

I have never heard The Dealer... is it good? If anyone owns the demo where she asks for a joint, I would love to hear it!!! Please post it!!!
