I was wondering if anyone knows if Eddie has given up smoking. I remember that he went on that cleanse awhile back, that included smoking cessation, but was wondering if it stuck or not. Im hopin.... ;)

    though it generally doesn't matter, i do find at least some level of curiosity as do others...perhaps not you...if you don't care about a certain subject matter, then move along to the next thread.

    Nice reply. Actually I care due to the fact that if he doesn't quit the smokes, his voice will probably be done in another 5 years....songs like Blood, Wash, Once just to name a few are seemingly getting harder and harder for him to sing IMHO

    I was wondering the same thing. I'm hoping he threw the smokes out for good. He's got to save those vocal cords and his overall health. :?

    Can't Keep would sound so much different with one of those voice-box vibrating things. Hope he quits too. :)

    Eddie, please don't smoke. Our happiness depends on your voice. Other than that do whatever you want.
    Further back and forth a wave will break on me, today...

    Eds voice is going..... yea I said it. Wash was pretty brutal from Mansfield.


    Funny cuz I still fucking love his voice regardless.

    This is starting to feel like a freakin boy band fan board.. Why bother even saying anything? so tired of the smoking thing.. there is no proof that smoking ruins your voice anyhow (plenty of talented singers smoke) And obviously, people who smoke don't live under rock and know just as much about smoking as you do. Everyone's aunt or grandpa died from smokes.. by now no one needs to be told the blatantly obvious

    i mean holy christ, what if someone talked about all your shitty habits online? Just because you don't smoke doesn't make you the smartest bastid that ever roamed this side of Marlboro country.You damn kids With your hoodie number logging threads and vedward hair and smoking threads. Not to bust the original poster's balls, its many threads before this that have built that wall of hatred.... Unfortunately I think the pool has been deeply condensed and now the chances of original and interesting topics are gonna be fewer and far between ;)

    ok, rant officially over .. sowwy

    Mark Lanegan smokes up a storm and has one of the best voices around. Sure it causes cancer but what doesn't? ;):D

    I think Eddie knows if smoking is messing up his voice. I doubt it is.

    Ed's not Mark Lanegan. If you haven't heard the difference in his vocals over the past few years you might want your ears checked. It affects different people different ways. Sinatra never had a problem. Bob Dylan... well, he wasn't that great to begin with but he's worse now than ever.

    Actually, smoking does trash your voice- thats why at times Eddie has even said he needs to quit. And by the way, I dont think mark lanegan or sinatra ever had to SCREAM and GROWL quite as much as Eddie does on PJ tunes. Im sorry, but thinking that smoking for 30 years isn't going to effect someone's vocals is like thinking that global warming isn't really happening- it defies logic.

    but that shit ain't easy!!

    I just threw up in my mouth a little bit just now. Surely, you must have at least felt noseated (sp?) by writing that down?

    Global warming's happening, but it's been happening and unhappening for millions of years. Whether or not humans are affecting it is up for debate.

    I dont think the main reason for quiting is health conciousness; it is to end a one sided, controlling relationship. The health aspect is a footnote. barely tangible.

    not just to see them grow but to protect them!
    There's not only 2nd hand smoking but 3rd hand smoking: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7813124.stm

    I stopped 8 years ago, after 15 years, just over half my life then, and I'm single..
    it's not THAT hard once you really made up your mind (and that's the only thing you really need), and I'm certain Ed has at least as much willpower than me (that's an understatement!)

    I care, too. It even bothers me that he drinks onstage. Can't be good for his voice or health. I don't want him to have to quit singing any sooner than he has to naturally.
    I'll wait for an angel, but won't hold my breath
