VEDDER DESPERATE TO STOP SMOKING

8 May 2006

World Entertainment News Network

May 08, 2006 (WENN via COMTEX) --

PEARL JAM frontman EDDIE VEDDER is desperate to kick his smoking habit after helping friends deal with their addictions.

The ALIVE singer admits he has fought to help addicts like bandmate MIKE McCREADY seek better lives, but he can't seem to do the same thing for himself.

Vedder says, "Mike McCready has been through all kinds of stuff, and we have supported him through it.

"At one point, we refused to enable him, though. We requested that he address these issues, and he did. He pulled it off incredibly.

"But we've lost a number of friends who we just couldn't help...

"And me? No drugs, no, but I can't seem to stop the cigarette smoking.

"Another couple of attempts, though, and I might just get my life back." (KL/SP/JB)

Good stuff. My buddy has been off of smokes for a couple of months. It's always a pleasure to see people kick the habit.

If he wasn't stoned on Kelly Slater's radio show he is just a very stupid man.

No, I missed it...Mr. Vedder can be kinda wordy sometimes. I still like him though. Hearing him speak sometimes makes me think he has to still smoke pot...Not that he sounds dumb or anything, but he can be kinda scatter brain sometimes, and say lots of random things; normally traits of pot heads.

It's more mental for me...I really cut back, never smoke alone, at work, etc...but get a few beers in my system, and I light up. I normally keep it to under 5 when I party, and a lot of times I'll just have one. To me, that's still too much, but now and then a ciggarette is nice.

Why is he throwing Mike under the bus ? Is this about Mike or about Ed? Just stop smoking . Stop talking about Mike's addictions which he has dealt with already and stop smoking yourself. Ed Vedder, Alive singer, is a grenis

He smokes on stage.
He makes references to it on stage.
Hell, he is lighting up during SVT.
He burns. Dude, come on.
