Well, I think there's ample evidence he was doing that as well.

I have no idea why Richey started smoking so late - boredom maybe - but do I think it's weird that he started around the age of 25? Not at all! I know quite a few people who picked it up post-teenage years.

Besides, I think Richey may have been an occasional smoker prior to '93 anyway. A few reviews/interviews from 90/91 indicate he was smoking backstage. Also, as I mentioned previously in this thread, he is smoking in the 1990 Heavenly promotional vid. Not sure however if I was an occasional habit for him or rather just an image thing.
