Snoop Doggclaimed that he’s “giving up smoke” in a new statement.
Of course, the 52-year-old’s weed intake has made headlines over the years, with his “roller” seemingly claiming that he smokes over 100 joints in a day. Snoop himself subsequently took to Instagram to claim that theactual numberwas closer to around eight in a day, and his “roller” emphasized that she usually rolls around “a quarter pound to half a pound a day” — but that that number wasn’t solely for Snoop. The rapper has evensoldhis own brand of marijuana over the years.
Regardless, the association between Snoop and smoking is no doubt why his latest statement — called “I’m giving up smoke” — quickly went viral.

“After much consideration and conversation with my family, I’ve decided to give up smoke,” read the statement, signed by Snoop. “Please respect my privacy at this time.”
That being said, Snoop did post smoking-related content on his story mere hours before:
Health above anything else . Snoops setting a peachy example to everyone . respect 🫡
Others questioned if the whole thing was a joke:

And others wondered if the statement was a ploy to get media attention before launching a line of vapes or edibles:
This is probably just gon na be some viral campaign where he launch his own line of vapes or edibles or something
