I'm totally against smoking too, never started myself and never will. I
also want my mother to quit (she did quit for a couple of years then
started again).
I agree that once you have kids things should definitely change.
But does he only smoke a few on stage and thats it, or does he smoke all
the time?
Alot of people will have a casual cigarette or two when they go out
drinking, but don't touch them any other time.
I'm just wondering if Ed has "quit" in his regular life but likes to
enjoy a couple on stage with his wine.
