Top 40 WORST SMOKERS in Hollywood history, Here are their stories' files.. 

When did Audrey Meadows become Kate Hepburn? And how could you possible leave John Wayne off the list? An admitted five-pack-a-day smoker, he made some of his best films AFTER having a cancerous lung removed. And it seems to me that musicians like Johnny Cash and Frank Zappa wouldn't be caught dead in Hollywood.

Clarke gable, moved to the US army where he was given a meddle for being extraordinary😂 you gotta love A.I.

The Ai voice cracks me up with the mispronunciation!

My former Brother in Law told me giving up smoking was the hardest thing he’d done in his life.

Adding to the list, George Harrison, Don and Phil Everly, Jackie Kennedy, Telly Savalas, John Russell, Chuck Connors, and Roger Miller.

John Austin IS STILL ALIVE!!!

I really hate AI narration.

This AI narration has got to go. And when it's more than 1 cigarette it gets an "s" on the end.

The Doctor told me that due to my smoking habit I had only 6 months to live. When I mentioned that I had no money to pay him he gave me another 6 months !!! 🤣😂😆😅

I started smoking when I was 10 years old. After two weeks my Mom caught my older brother and I smoking . Never touched it again , and now I'm 77.

Micheal Landon was a 3 pack a day smoker. Patrick Swayze was a 3-4 pack a day smoker.

The narration does to this video what heavy smoking does to lungs. I’m sure Frank SIN-a-tra a would agree!

Worst Smoker. John Astin, smokes cigars as character, stops smoking when series ends. Born in 1930 he is still alive at age 94. Worst Smoker??? Absolutely not.

7:51 Red Foxx played by Rod Serling.

When I was growing up in the 60s the cartoons had smoking on it...the series I watch had smoking..the commercials advertised smoking Ash trays was about everywhere hospital , groceries stores etc..i started smoking when I was 10…. But quit in 2017 and never went back still smoke free.

Buster Keaton, like my own dad, died of lung cancer at age 70. My dad smoked till shortly before death. He went through 3 packs a day, all while choking till his lips turned blue.

Charles Lane had his final hospitalization in 1990 ? That 17 years before his death at 102 in 2007, the guy was great !!!

The irony of the sign "terminal" behind Rod Serling!

Burgesss Meredith's nightmare was the very incident that happened to Jack Cassidy, resulting in his death on December 12, 1976.

I despise cigarettes and the tobacco industry. Both my father and my sister were heavy smokers and died because of it.

If you smoke 3, 4, 5, 6 packs of cigarettes a day how in the world do you get any work done?

I am surprised at the number of cigs these people smoked everyday.

This is such a weird computer generated video. Her pension for cigarette or his affinity for cigarette. WEIRD

John Astin is probably still alive because he quit smoking cigars when the Addams Family went off the air.

I think 78 is a pretty good run. RIP Dean.

At 17:31 smoking changed David Janssen completely !!! 😂😂😂

My father quit smoking when he was in his 20’s something by reading the warning label on a pack of cigarettes. My grandmother smoked in her early 70’s that a doctor told her to quit smoking. She did and lived to be 89 years old. She did looked liked she was 100 years old in her face. My aunt was a heavy smoker and drinker. She died just before my father in her early 70’s.

These aren't the worst smokers, they are the greatest smokers. Congrats to all of them.

I can’t believe John Wayne wasn’t on this list.

Cigarettes r very nasty

Forgot about John Wayne snd Carroll O'Conner

Honorable mention to the following actors and actresses. Sharon Stone Michael Rennie James Garner Steve McQueen Lee Marvin Laurence Harvey Rock Hudson George Peppard Yul Brynner

Considering how much Dino drank and smoke, plus the heartache of losing his son, he actually lived quite long.

1989 Was the year I completely gave up my pack-a-day habit, now 67 years old I'm suffering from post-COVID lung problems, not too bad but needing to use an inhaler once in a while!

George Burns cigar smoker - lived to 100 years old. Just imagine how old he could have lived to if he didn't smoke 😅

Ahhh... I wish I could treat alcohol as an "every day beverage". I am a firm believer that bourbon is NOT just for breakfast anymore.

Quit 21 years ago. Never regretted it

William Tallman and William Hopper of Perry Mason fame, Sue Randel! Of Leave it to Beaver smoked 3 packs a day and died of lung cancer at age 49

Another smoker that isn't on the list is Ernie Kovacs.

Aaron Spelling , Ian Fleming , the list goes on

Dean Martin lived until the 90s. He did not die in 78.

My mother and two of my brothers died from heavy smoking. A horrible addiction 🤔

a great era for lung cancer.

Let's be honest: almost everyone in show business smoked something back then. It killed most of them, but then again people like Burns and Berle lived long lives.

The thing about smoking has always been this. *_Smoking has never been cool. But the coolest people always smoked._* Bogie, Frank, Deano, Gable, the Duke, Brando, Marlene, Bacall and Marilyn. Just about everybody that anybody wanted to be, smoked. All of their most classic photographs had three elements. 1) The star, glammed to the nines. 2) A cocktail. Martinis and whiskey being most common. And, 3) A lit cigarette. Rarely, a gentleman would have a cigar or a pipe. A cigar was almost always accompanied by a _tuxedo or a Dinner Jacket._ The ladies almost always had a cigarette holder of some type, often pearl. It wasn't just the glamorous boys and girls either. All the bad boys and girls always a lit cig hanging from a lip on one side or the other. Can you think of your favorite actor of the period when they played a dark character? Were they smoking? Pretty sure they were. Lighting a cigarette or a pipe was an excellent way to slow down a scene for dramatic effect. Getting away from celebs, if you are old enough to have grown children and grands, you will remember that back in school, the kids that always got into trouble, smoked. The power of marketing, Eh?

John Wayne was the king of smokers. Never had an unlit cigarette throughout his day. Would light every smoke with the lit but of his previous cig.

I started smoking a pack a day at 16 until 20. I quit for 16 years and then started up again for about a year, quit again for 5 years and then finally took it up again for one last time for about a year. One of the best things I ever did was quit that disgusting, stinky habit. I can say without reservation that smoking is a habit I will never take up again.

Tyrone Power died at 44 years old. I have read that he smoked 4 packs of cigarettes a day.

there is an episode in which Serling appears at the end for 2 minutes at most. Even during those two minutes he had a cigarette stuck in his face. What a waste of talent

*John Wayne was a 6-pack a day Smoker* *Betty Grable was a 3-pack a day Smoker* *Laurel and Hardy were Heavy Smokers*

I'm surprised there is no mention of William Holden who was a prolific smoker 🤔

I was a light smoker for 20 years beginning at 14. quit cold turkey. now 81. took a coupla years though to get over the "urge". quit right in the middle of a pack too. Recently I noticed a pack of my Great Granddaughters cancer sticks and noted that they're about 30% skinnier than they used to be when I was smoking. have no idea when the industry did that but it was VERY noticeable and I pointed that out to her. They're now about the size of what "Virginia Slims" were back when I quit. Are they still making that brand if so I can't imagine how skinny they are now!

Johnny paycheck and waylon jennings

I had no idea that Patrick Swayze smoked! WOW! That shocks me. Never had a clue.

While not a star the biggest smoker had to be Billy Carter. Jimmy's brother. Billy admitted that he smoked 8 packs a day.

After smoking tobacco for 12:40 12:46 32years of my life, I had cancer of the larynx and I stopped smoking per my oncologist advice.I did stop and that really did help me to beat cancer and I am in my 15 year as a survivor of cancer.My advice to people who are currently smoking tobacco and other forms of tobacco,stop while you still have the time to do so and that time is now because a journey of life fighting cancer is not a pleasant one

I quit 9 years ago thank god but another great actor that cigarettes killed was the great Lon Chaney sr. Who died at the young age of 47.

I smoke cigarettes but 3 or more packs a day is wild. I can’t even do that. It takes me 3/4 days with a pack. I pray I stop smoking soon.

Been there done that ! Nasty habit just like drinking ! Stopped both a long time ago ! I wonder how much money I saved besides putting years on my life ! ?

Shouldn’t this be titled…The Best Smokers?

Your soundtrack needs work. Esp. Oscar Levant. Mispronounced names hurt it. Photos of people who were NOT the person discussed.

13:29 of 19:45 I can't watch this shit anymore.

I notice that AI frequently mispronounces names and words. Often accent is placed on the wrong syllable making the name or word sound very strange.

Mary Tyler Moore was also a heavy smoker.

And they all paid the price and died young.

I literally hate cigarettes. There killers that's it

What about Harry Morgan I never seen that man without a cigarette or cigar

For the love of God, get a bot that pronounce names correctly.

13:43 She smoked so much she grew a second head!

More damn A. I. commentary. ..Humphrey. Bogart was diagnosed" how do you miss pronounce it to. "diag know sed" and ...its Frank Sinatra pronounced "sin ah tra" not sin etra. Hell even your captuons spelled it "Cetra" A. I. SUCKS

John Mellencamp reportedly smokes 4 packs a day

10:15 Oscar Levant echo echo echo echo echo echo echo

John Wayne

all of these people take a back seat to My Morher in Law

Terrible editing and narration.

INSTEAD OF SMOKING PREFORM YOGA

I hate AI

Yul Brynner?

Sad....

heard Kamela Harris smokes pot. That's the reason. She laughs at everything 😊

This narrator thoroughly butchered Sinatra's last name.

3 and 4 packs a day ,they must have stank.who would want to go near them

Some of the pronunciations are hilarious.

I smoke cigarettes and I work with 75 people that vape its the same thing just manlier😂😂

He was pronounced Frank SINatra.

None of this is worthy, almost everyone smoked back then. Who cares

My grandfather smoked two packs of filterless lucky strikes passed away at the age of 85.

As usual, the AI narration mispronounces names and other words.

You need an editor. Desperately.

Some of this stuff is not accurate, cant pronounce names that are obvious. too bad

All tobacco products are clearly marked with warning labels, but you can't fix stupid.

All of them are not smoker😂🎉😢😮😅😊666😊😅😮😢🎉😂

anyone got a MARLBORO FOR ME

No nice to judge and shame people. You don’t know what these people’s lives were like.

I need a cigarette 😅

No sympathy here. They did it to themselves.

Here are some notable others: Jack Klugman Yul Brynner Jack Cassidy Milton Berle George Burns Paul Lynde William Hopper Peter Lawford Jerry Lewis George Peppard

I’m 72 now and walk 6 to 8 miles, sometimes more every day. I smoked at an early age. In 1977 my doctor told me I had chronic bronchitis from cigarette smoking and WOULD have emphysema. I had an uncle and a close friend who had terrible emphysema that killed both of them. I quit for 5 years in 1977, started back in 1982 and smoked 2 more years. Although it was extremely hard, I quit smoking for good in April of 1984 and haven’t smoked since. It was extremely difficult but my lungs can breathe deeply and well . I gave up alcohol in March of 1992 and have been a teetotaler since. Great advice is if you don’t smoke, don’t start. If you do, quit. It’s a challenge but is very much worth it! I developed a positive addiction…physical exercise and it has paid off. Mild heart attack at 61 in 2013 but damage undetectable, if any. Cardiologist said EKG perfect. Bloodwork textbook. Heart sounds fantastic. He wishes he had a thousand patients like me. Avoiding cigarettes is very much worth it! But for a long time after quitting I would DREAM about smoking. Bite the bullet, quit smoking.

You completely overlooked some more notable's. Yul Brynner died at 65 lung cancer, had a anti-smoking commercial broadcast after his death, John Wayne at died at 72 cancer was known as a chain smoker, George Burns a cigar smoker died at 100 years (natural causes) not everybody that smoked died of cancer. I quite 9 years ago after 40 years still (knock on wood) cancer free. I quit smoking cold turkey after 5 attempts always keep trying and believe you can stop smoking.

Another one who was a notorious smoker was Don Adams. And Gil Hodges was a notoriously heavy smoker, who died of a massive heart attack on Easter Sunday, 1972, two days shy of his 48th birthday.
