Rush is a heavy cigar smoker, and was a cigarette smoker before that. He often says "Here in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers..."

I don't know how heavily he smoked cigarettes, but I've gleaned from his comments over the years that he smoked heavily.

I haven’t listened to him in decades but I always wonder what life would be like after Rush. He became the firstest with the mostest and turned the world on its ear. There was no one saying what he was saying and he started the end of the media monopoly. He monetized conservatism which made it take off
I hope everything works out for him.

‘but I’ve gleaned from his comments over the years that he smoked heavily.’

I believe he said it was a three pack a day habit...
