Rachael "the Chimney" Ray

Yes, it's true. Rachael Ray smokes. I know a lot of people hate smoking. In my city, they've passed those smoking bans and everything. Some people (you know who you are) even go through this ridiculous, overacting pantomime of choking to death if someone happens to walk by them (outside) enjoying a cigarette.

I'm anti-smoking, too, of course. Well, at least with respect to encouraging others (especially children) to avoid taking up the unhealthy habit. I used to smoke a half-pack or so a day (quit about 10 years ago), but I have avoided becoming one of those militant anti-smoking types who pretend like they're a half-step from chemotherapy because someone thirty feet away is doing a Marlboro Man impersonation.

Anyway, I've read people criticizing Rachael Ray for smoking. I never really knew whether or not the claim was true. Then I stumbled across this picture of Rachael Ray smoking (well, at least with a lit ciggy in her hand).

Instead of using that as an excuse to crucify Ray, I'd like to just mention that it's my hope she comes to her senses and beats the habit soon for her own well-being. I also think a move like that might help a little in the "role model department". At the same time, I'm not going to act as though she's the devil because she likes to take an occasional drag. Just hoping the smart woman makes a smart decision!

She does sound like she smokes; more so now than ever before (I'm listening to 30 minute meals playing behind me). Personally, I could care less. Some people smoke, some people don't. To those who have a problem, get over it.

Smoking isn't very smart, but, I don't think it is anyone's business to chastise Ray for a poor choice (I also think that this applies to stars smoking crack). I agree with you; this shouldn't be a reason to "crucify Ray."

Her voice is so raspy, of course she smokes. I would just like to see her smoke a cigarette out of her ass while she smokes my fat cock.

I literally do choke when I am walking by people smoking. I am highly allergic to cigarette smoke, so do not assume everyone is pretending when this bothers them. However, I do not care if Rachel Ray smokes.
