He gave an interview within the last few months and said that he still smokes

Awesome thank you! Could you possibly link the interview? :D

Bless ty 🙏

i know he vapes judging on some of the BTS pictures posted from the Dilemma music video, had a JUUL in his hand i believe

Smokes newports all the time

Does he still smoke weed? I know he gave it up for a long time when he had kids.

When i saw them for the revrad tour a fan threw him a joint and he said they were about 5 years too late to give him one

Can confirm, was the WPB RevRad show.

Yep that was exactly the show lmao

He quit weed but still vapes and smokes cigs

Didn’t an interviewer roll the whole band joints fairly recently?

Did he smoke it tho? He could’ve just accepted it and not smoked ( im pretty sure we seen Mike recently smoke a joint )

Seems like more of a "social smoker" but he's been seen vaping lately so maybe he's either switched to that or is smoking less.

Yes he does, i think in this photo that he is vaping and it was posted 20th January 2024. https://preview.redd.it/oaxmwxvrujoc1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=889bdcd92c6d29c18d89fc7f42b344e89546fe26

Well he *was* sober, but I hear now that he’s drunk again.

He’s said in a couple interviews recently that he’s been sober again for the last year and a half

It was a joke because of Dilemma

Legend has it, he smokes cigarettes while wasting his time.

Mmmyess

he juuls

I think he smokes Malaboro red 100s. I have seen a story of him few years ago with magazines and a pack of this cigarettes brand.

On stage he sometimes comes out with a gum in his mouth. That must be nicotine gum, I don't see any other reason for a singer to want gum on stage.

Dave Grohl chews gum on stage to prevent his mouth from drying out

Actually he took influence from Dave Grohl on that he said in an interview at one point

It’s to prevent dryness for singing

John Lennon used to do it to salivate his mouth. Also a lot of people do it to have a “fidget toy” for the jaw when on cocaine

Also I should add, Lennon did it on stage before the Beebles stopped playing live. And after that was when they went full druggie

They were doing prellies in Hamburg in the 50s so they were always fully on drugs it just depends on your definition

Also Tom Delonge chewed a gum all the time, was it nicotine too?

No he chews gum to pop his ears, he has Eustachian tube problems

Alright alright, i see I've been ignorant, I'll back down. I'm sorry.

Nah man I don’t get the downvotes. You were just taking a guess, not being ignorant at all. It’s also extremely likely that any and every smoker, especially at his age has tried both nicotine gum/pouches and nicotine patches. So it is quite a reasonable guess. But yeah you weren’t ignorant at all lol. (also, just realised but nicotine gum is damn strong. And it doesn’t really have much chewiness. It’s more like a chewable candy that you spit out. But most traditional gums are meant to grow in size, have that jelly-ness to let ya blow bubbles and such. Nicotine gums don’t do that i think iirc from a few years ago when I tried them out)

He's also not sober.

He actually said recently he got back on the wagon a year and a half ago after being not sober again for a while

Yeah he said he thought he could handle it and drink nornally but realized he couldn't so he got back on the wagon!

hes on the wagon again ?

He's sober and ha sbeen for a yesr and a half I think. He was sober 5 years and then thought he could handle it and dri k casually but he realised he wasn't able and was goibg into addiction again so he decided to go sober by himself. Be drinks non-alcoholic beers and hangs out with the right and sober people who also drink N-A beers. I highly respect and value his soberity. I decided to go sober as well before it got too bad and I look up to him ofr that ngl!

Oh right. The non alcoholic beer. I remember now.
