    Celebrities are human beings, OP.

    I must say that is the last thing on my mind when I consider celebrities. What significance does it have?

Oh wait. That's what anti-smoke-bigots do anyway.
    Do you agree that celebrity lifestyles are different from your average person? If so, do you agree that different lifestyles result in different social climates? Do all social climates have the same social pressures? I'm not even associating anything negative to smoking in my statement so it can't be considered judgmental.

    My point was that assuming celebrities life choices are going to fall in line with your average Joe at every turn is flawed. Any assumptions you think I'm making about smokers are based on projection, guilt, or some other emotional response and not a result of the content in my post.

    Justin Bieber and Daniel Radcliffe are next in line.
    For the record, MJ was intentionally given too much of the wrong medicine and was an old man by that time. For a guy that was a star from the time he was of school age, a target for all the lowlifes (the false molestation claims meant to generate a payday) and VERY famous for most of 5 decades, he did alright. He was in great shape for his age his whole life.

    There are tons of celebs who I haven't seen tied to smoking. They don't talk about them. They talk about the ones who are determined to ruin themselves.

    Yeah I guess MJ is not the best example. I didn't really put a thought to my explanation, though. As I said it's some bogus joke I pulled out of my rear end

    Based and projection and guilt, that's hilarious. That's so compulsively dramatic and so internet.

    People smoke, dude, deal with it.
