And I'm not trying to be facetious...anyone who decides to start puffing the Demon Weed at the age of 60 has got enough screws loose to build a deck.

He's probably smoked his whole life. You'd be surprised at the number of athletes, especially in the past, smoked cigarettes. He disgusts ME because he is a republican and a conservative. According to him, he "believes in the Constitution" and that's why he's a republican. I guess he doesn't care that the people who disparage him and seek to destroy him for who he is, who judge him, and wish to block his civil rights, are conservatives. Liberals support this dude, and he says he "believes in the Constitution" and therefore he's a republican. Good Lord, if that's not disgusting, I don't' know what is.

Surprised by many of them. Tom Brady. John Elway. Anna Kournikova. Many European soccer players. Several baseball and hockey players. Probably a lot more in the 1970s when Jenner was an Olympian. Not nearly as common today but still not unheard of, kinda like doctors who smoke. There's a few.

He said it was pretty common. The nicotine makes you feel more energetic or something. That was the gist of his explanation, it was a long time ago.

as a conservative republican, now that disgusts me. Especially since 90% would reject his process here.

I am sure Bruce has more important things to worry about then an anonymous keyboarder.

Smoking - his choice. Like someone here said, he's been probably smoking all his life.
I'm glad that he finally came out and now he can live his life the way he wants it. I have a lot of respect for him and struggles. He deserves happiness just like everyoone else.

I wish Bruce no ill but most Democrats support expanding his rights while most Republicans support contracting his rights. I do wish he would revisit which party he supports in light of that fact.

I tell every conservative that it is there god given right to smoke as much as they want.
And don't ever let Obama try to take away their cigarettes.

Yeah, I know, Eleanor was part of a dynasty into suppressing freedom of speech to keep the people down.

Jenner is going through a major change in his life, if smoking brings him so relaxation that's fine with me. Don't be so critical.
