Who knows mabey with this new vitality and vigour we may get some more bastards tunes in November....on your feet or on your knees would make me the happiest man in the world!...but I agree well done to lem for keeping in shape to give us more of the best rock n roll on the planet...

As a 100% "smoke hater" and after having lost a close relative due to lung cancer a couple of weeks ago, I just want to congratulate Lemmy, whatever his reasons may be.

Smoking is stupid, 100% uncool and annoying for most people

well great for his healthy, but lemmy without cigarettes? there's missin something xD

Lemmy can do whatever he wants as far as I'm concerned. His actions are beholden to no one else's approval!

If he smokes, good for him. If he stops, good for him. He's a free thinker and can make his own decisions!

I stopped smoking too this year. So it's a bonus to know I'm in the best possible company!

Yes he stopped smoking. 100% true an approved.

Last time I saw them I had the feeling he had not much breath left at the end of a lot of sentences singing. He sounded not like he smoked/drank for years, but also like someone was squeezing his throat.

I stopped myself some 8 years ago after years of heavy smoking and have a lot more breath now. I lost my father earlier this year because his lungcancer spread towards his brains. (This is not a nice way to die I can tell you.) I think you can imagine what I think about smoking...... ;-)

Sorry to hear that BertH, how tough.
I'm very happy for Lem as I was for my wife when she quit.

So how is Lemmys singing now (since he stopped smoking)? Any "obvious" difference?

Close relative of mine died....no, "croaked" of lung cancer a few weeks ago. I don't understand why people smoke, anyway.
My wife stopped from four(!) packs a day to zero 21y ago. I wonder if she would be alive today if she didn't stop....

Lemmy has quit smoking. He said he is losing his voice more and more, and has decided to quit so he can try to maintain his vocal.

Where did you hear it?
