Jack Nicholson Calls Smoking Stupid

Hollywood legend Jack Nicholson is said to have smoked a pack of cigarettes a day for most of his life, now he's admitting that he's worried his smoking habit may cause his health to falter.

Jack, 70, who faces his own mortality in the new movie "The Bucket List," tells the Los Angeles Times that he knows smoking is stupid and fears what it may have done to his body.

"It is not so much that you fear that moment when somebody comes in and says, 'That's it. You're dead. You smoked too much,'" says Jack. "Well, that's not the real fear. The real fear is going through now the process and thinking, 'I'm dying of stupidity.'"

Nicholson, who has several children ranging in ages from adults to pre-teens, is feeling his mortality. When asking if he will quit any time soon, Jack had no comment at this time.
