Are there any NBA players that smoke cigarettes?

[Stanley Kobrick]

You hear alot about weed being prominent in the NBA but nothing much about players smoking cigarettes. I've heard of players in the past smoking them like Scottie Pippen and Vlade Divac puffing away at halftime but not much about today's players.

Here is GSW's Andris Biedrins puffing away as his buddy gets head from a chick while his other buddy finger blasts away

yeah especially 80's-90's players when smoking was widely accepted. it's crazy when i travel on old airlines to see ashtrays in airplanes. imagine puffing clouds on a jet. nowadays in the US it's becoming more taboo which is a good thing imo

In those days smoking was seen as something of a status marker, because it meant youd actually earned a contract that provided enough disposable income for cigs. At that time, most players were still working a day job before tip off each night just to keep the mortgage paid. Dropping tree fiddy for a pack of smokes was something only the era’s top stars could comfortably indulge in.

Cigs just arent as appealing for players now. Today you hve the finest athletes in the world being paid top dollar to master their craft. It was a different league back then.

Good point. Kind of like sexual assault and pedophilia, Steven Tyler hooking up with 13yo's backstage was kind of just norm, he was married to a 15yo at one point too. Like many 70's-80's rock stars. something something karl malone

The league didn't really become professional until around 2003. It's weird as it kind of happened just over that summer.

[Pushxx]

Plenty of them might smoke 1 or 2 once in a while if they're out, but I probably less than 1-2% smoke regularly.

Scottie Pippen, Vlade Divac, Arvydas Sabonis

Many of the modern era's greatest geniuses smoked tobacco. Wtf have you done?

[Akeem34TheDream]

I dont think only idiots smoke. But it is a stupid thing to do.

[scuzzy]

i use to be a pack a day for like 5 years, i went cold turkey did the vape pen and slowly lowered the nicotine till I hit 0 mg.

now i just take a blast from the vape whenever I get a craving

[Spurs m8]

Lol

[Full Court]

You know Brittney Griner's been doing some smoking.

[TheGoatest]

Not regularly, like as a full time habit.
There were plenty full-time smokers back in the 90s and earlier though, further proving how the modern game has gotten more demanding and professionalized, along with many other things.

[Fallguy20]

Sure fire way to find some would be to check victory parades and post game-7 locker rooms. End of the season, goal accomplished, officially in vacation mode.

[Jasper]

it's well known that Giannis smokes a pack a day.
