You know you guys may be answer to this for me. I was at the 4/24/2000 Raw in Raleigh, NC at the wrestler entrance and out comes Triple H looking like he was smoking a cigarette or a doobie. Is anybody aware if he smokes?

I think that I saw a picture of him smoking a cigar once, but I don't think that he's a regular smoker.

We didn't get Nitro at the time, but I remember reading a CRZ recap where he mentioned Booker T getting out of a limo with a cigarette.

Val Venis, although he doesn't like to mention it.

Mickie James smokes cigs. Or at least she used to.

I've seen Ric Flair, Shawn Michaels, and Shane Douglas dip snuff during shoot interviews. And someone I know who worked a show with Jeff Jarrett, and they said he smokes like a chimney (or atleast he did about 10 years ago).

And these are wrestlers I've seen smoking in pics:

Alicia Fox:


Chris Jericho:


Jack Swagger:


Maria Kanellis:


Maryse:

Flair told a story in his book about Ken Patera and how he'd drink and smoke and Ken explained, "I work out this hard to offset the drinking and I don't need to breathe to lift weights."

Maria quit a few years ago, during her relationship with Punk I believe. Show quit around the time he lost a ton of weight in 2007-2008.

A lot of wrestlers appear to smoke socially. Hell, there's a photo out there of Vince and Shane smoking cigars.

I know Rey did, don't know if he still does.

Ruckus lost a ton of weight by taking up smoking (or by making it a substitute for food).

Raven smoked a joint with Stephanie McMahon, which is seemingly why Vince McMahon had beef with him before Raven (rightly) threatened to take him to court over abuse of the 'independent contractor' clause that is characteristic of major wrestling organizations like the WWF/WWE (How are you an 'independent contractor' if you are forbidden from wrestling for competing organizations)?

Edge said he tried it once in high school and hated it

I hate Miz so much.

I read somewhere many moons ago that Angle chews tobacco.

Some time in 1999 or 2000 there was a cover story and interview with Vince and Shane in Cigar Afficianado magazine.

Never heard of him smoking cigarettes. Though with the amount of pot he smokes, I think calling him a smoker is accurate.

I remember a few years back there was a story going around that one of the TNA Knockouts started smoking to try to keep her weight down so TNA wouldn't fire her. Did we ever get confirmation on who that was? (For reference, it wasn't Taeler Hendrix, this was before she started working for them).

I think the story about execs wanting the women to smoke is BS...

That being said, you'd be surprised by the number of people on the TNA roster that smoke.
It's a lot.

JR smokes. Supposedly Benoit smoked as well. A bunch of dudes in Japan smoke.

[Tiger Millionaire]

Justin Credible smokes.
