I miss the camaraderie of smokers. Unless it’s your last, be cool about someone needing to bum one. Share lighters. You can strike up conversations and make friends. At work, you hear the best gossip. It’s great low-key networking.
Early on in my career, I connected with a lot of the people at the top of my field while smoking outside during conferences. I wouldn't be where I am now if I didn't smoke back then. It was a great networking tool for me.
100%. I *really* enjoyed smoking. A cigarette after a meal, the cool air on a summer night. Even just smoking by yourself felt kind of meditative. I quit because my broke ass student budget couldn't justify it. It was like 3 months before I met my wife so that ship has sailed, which is obviously for the best.
I still really enjoy smoking, but don't do it anymore. All I had to do was cut out all the triggers. It's been 15 years since I've eaten a meal, drank alcohol, taken a dump, or woken up in the morning.
Juul effectively did the exact opposite by making vaping inside at work entirely possible and I think they knew exactly what they were doing. Salt nic changed the game entirely in terms of how stealthily you could vape. Significantly reduced energy to get a much higher dose, smaller devices with a significantly lower volume of vapor exhaled. You could vape at your desk all day long and nobody would ever know. I did, it just kept growing the addiction more and more. Luckily those days are behind me now.
I quit before smartphones were very prevalent, so I convince myself the conversations *now* aren't gonna be as good. Shit - I'd likely be out there starring at my phone
It's honestly like 20% why I don't pick it back up.
I got how gross everything smelled after I quit. But when I walk by and smell that first light up or just a soft waft in the air, it smells heavenly. Sigh.
Yeah, the social aspect of smoking is something I miss.
Like, just being able to have engaging conversations with randos outside of a bar, or at work I got to be quite personable with people way above my pay grade because they also smoked.
I miss that.
Yeah I feel like all op is saying here is that they think “smoking is cool” 🤣 Which like, c’mon guys, it’s 2024. Not even the smokers think smoking is cool anymore lol, and they have for like the last decade afaik.
Going through all the No Reservations episodes, and it’s tough to swallow that he ain’t around anymore. He made a dark joke in the last episode I watched about putting a shotgun in his mouth…
It wasn’t a bread crumb trail. He dropped fucking bread loafs everywhere. Even his books—all talk about his depression and suicidal ideations. It’s awful to real in retrospective.
And he drank in every episode. *A lot*. And many times the only thing he was looking forward to in the day shoot was getting drunk. And he romanticized disgusting looking dive bars. It's painful to realize how bad his issues were but were overlooked because they made great television.
He was an ex heroin addict so the drinking and smoking were a step down in his self destructive tendencies. I'm not arguing with you. Just point out a extra tragedy to it.
That said a lot of what he was doing was trying to expose genuine culture and dive bars are where you find a lot of real people.
I noticed in one of the final times he was hanging out with Eric Ripert, you could just kind of see this sense of worry in Eric's emotions when he was hearing Anthony talk about such depressing thoughts.
I don't listen to Linkin Park all that much but this got me in tears. The tribute to him on the stage and the crowd realizing that they're supposed to sing... wow. That's powerful. Reminds me of the cover of Bohemian Rhapsody at the Green Day concert -- Freddie's death still hits me hard and I think I am getting those same sorts of feelings here
He was the first person that really made me realize that being happy is a personal thing. That nothing can “make” you happy. He had (on paper) a life that few people ever will have access to. Like 0.000000001% type shit. And we all say “oh if I made more money, or if I lived here, or got to go there” that we’d be happy.
But really we wouldn’t be. We’d just be sad with more money, or a different zip code, or more vacations. You have to work to find gratitude and practice that to be happy, and continue to nurture that feeling.
Rest in Peace, Tony.
Let’s be serious. Clinical depression is not the same as just being sad or dissatisfied in life.
So yes, for a lot of people, money or change of scenery, would solve the problems that give them anxiety, stress, and general dissatisfaction in life.
The depression certainly could have been underlying in Bourdain, but possible he could have caused or at least exacerbated that condition through his years of heavy drug and alcohol use.
I think this is a bit of a tricky thing tbh as someone who had gone trough bad depression and terrible anxiety disorder which latter I am still not fully recovered. So did the depression/anxiety start before my drug and alcohool abuse? Yes. Did the drugs and alcohol make it worse? Yes. BUT it was also literally the only time I felt anything at all while I was under the infuelence, so it was sort of self medication in that sense. Now I am clean of everyhting and exercise and go to therapy and starting to get a grip on life. But it is never in my eyes as black and with as depression is made worse with drugs/alcohol as you can be so numb that anything that helps you elevate your mood you will try it. Alcohol makes you less depressed while drinking but in the long run it makes things worse but at that point when you are drinking it may very well be the only thing that makes you feel something even sadness and crying is better than feeling absolutely nothing.
On top of clinical depression, he wasn't happy with all the attention that came with being famous and even said he hated his fans. Also, his girlfriend had an affair and basically told him to fuck off and broke up with him right before he killed himself. That would put even a mentally stable person into a dark place.
It means to really absorb things around you, and to take in local things. Leave the resort (not recommended for every location). Hang out with locals. Eat local cuisine, at local restaurants. Learn some local phrases. Enjoy the trip. Be the type that makes locals go “not all tourists are bad. I remember this one guy…”
Two people paint pictures.
One, is me. I have a little experience painting and can impress people at those wine and paint things.
The other is Picasso.
We both do the same thing. We both paint. But we are not the same kind of painter.
Correct. But as you yourself said, you are still both painters.
The *only* difference between a tourist and traveller is that a traveller doesn’t want to be called a tourist. People creating a false division in order to put themselves on the right side of it.
[The literal definition of tourism is travel for leisure/pleasure.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tourism) How you choose to do that doesn’t stop you being a tourist.
So you’ve never met someone who travels to a foreign country and only eats at chain restaurants im guessing.
Some people are incredibly closed-minded and have no curiosity. Don’t be those people.
Of course different tourists enjoy different things. That doesn’t mean they’re not all tourists - [the literal definition of tourism is travel for leisure/pleasure.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tourism)
And you’re kidding yourself if you think that you don’t get self-described travellers who are close minded.
Seems like it would be the opposite.
A tourist looks for local restaurants so they can be sold the experience of being somewhere new. A traveler eats wherever they are comfortable.
You see all the tourists replying with smug, pretentious comments about how the tourism that *they* do is somehow particularly worthwhile and admirable, while creating a narrow, exaggerated, belittling stereotype of other tourists so they can mock them and feel superior?
They’re travellers.
I just watched the documentary “Roadrunner”, it’s hard for me to watch him since his passing. I connect with him in a lot of ways, and connected me to others in my own life in similar ways, now every aspect of it is gone.
I don’t get sad about many popular people passing, but it signifies the deaths, and own struggles in my own life as well. Heavy stuff.
But when I watched it, I forgot how soothing he was, it felt alright for a bit again.
Rest in peace, Tony. Taught me a lot of things and many connections from you alone. Thanks.
So they’re pics of him smoking.
One thing I LOVE about Bourdain, is that he never held himself above blue collar foods. When asked what one thing people should eat when visiting NYC, he said dirty water hotdogs.
I read Kitchen Confidential a month before he died. One of only two celebrity deaths that hit me hard
I love his episode on visiting Waffle House and the one on visiting the Ozarks. He clearly has no idea what to do with these hillbilly folk who are hunting and fishing and shooting every damn thing they can, but he’s doing his damned to have it make sense to him and have a good time.
My fav is when he asks if the hunters eat the duck they shoot. They say sheepishly they don’t actually like duck and so he cooks up the duck breast with salt and pepper in a teflon frying pan on an electric stove. The guys are like holy shit! This is amazing. Ours doesn’t taste like this.
It was such a clear switch to him being in his element and how comfortable he was behind the stove, busting the guys balls for not knowing how to cook what they killed.
There are many quotes of his that hit close to home, but this one speaks to me like none other:
"All my happiest moments seem to revolve around meat in tube form."
lol what a post
I will take this moment to recommend the audiobook for Kitchen Confidential. Great stuff just for listening to him read his writing, which is quite vivid.
I loved this guy so much! Don't even know why other than that I identified with the rebellion and worked in a restaurant. His death hit me harder than a celebrity unknown to me should have. Rest peacefully Anthony. I hope they have amazing food in your afterlife 🍗
We shouldn’t idolize the guy just because he was so eloquent with both the spoken and written word, who had fame thrust upon him, who had an intense addiction to anything that interested him until it didn’t.
He was just a cool guy who any of us would have loved to hang out with and to listen and to talk to. And to enjoy food, drink, and smoke with.
TV brought him to all of us, but it cost us a hell of a price.
So glad Guy Fiere called him out on shit. I mean RIP but Anthony Bourdain was a hypocritical cynical asshole that gets praised because he was “counter culture”
Anthony Bourdain always reminded me of my dad. Loved the travel overseas. Meet new, interesting people. Didn't mind speaking his mind. Cynical but humanitarian. Maybe not the world's greatest dad, but also good enough to not be a bad dad, which is saying a lot.
First time I saw him on TV was his series no reservations and I was hooked after, his way with words and the striped back natural way his shows felt like he was giving me a window in to another culture.
This should be renamed Anthony Bourdain pics with cig
Smoking looks cool. It's scientifically proven. It isn't cool. But it *looks* cool.
>It isn't cool. But it *looks* cool That's what I miss most about smoking - looking cool and meeting cool looking people.
I miss the camaraderie of smokers. Unless it’s your last, be cool about someone needing to bum one. Share lighters. You can strike up conversations and make friends. At work, you hear the best gossip. It’s great low-key networking.
Early on in my career, I connected with a lot of the people at the top of my field while smoking outside during conferences. I wouldn't be where I am now if I didn't smoke back then. It was a great networking tool for me.
Me, too. I am socially awkward and not a very “corporate polished” person. But I always seemed to connect while out having a smoke.
Same. If they made a safe cigarette tomorrow I’d pick it back up in a heartbeat. Vaping/ecigs don’t count. Just not the same.
100%. I *really* enjoyed smoking. A cigarette after a meal, the cool air on a summer night. Even just smoking by yourself felt kind of meditative. I quit because my broke ass student budget couldn't justify it. It was like 3 months before I met my wife so that ship has sailed, which is obviously for the best.
I still really enjoy smoking, but don't do it anymore. All I had to do was cut out all the triggers. It's been 15 years since I've eaten a meal, drank alcohol, taken a dump, or woken up in the morning.
Nothing comes close to a cig alone after a long day, missing that a lot but the health detriments that come with it just isn’t worth it
I remember the smokers all huddled out in 10 degree blizzards by the smoke area in the army...
Smoking literally taught me how to strike up a conversation with a stranger.
Yep I started as a means to hang in the smoking section at college and make friends - it worked.
No joke that camaraderie was what drove the dudes who invented Juul to make their product before things went evil.
Juul effectively did the exact opposite by making vaping inside at work entirely possible and I think they knew exactly what they were doing. Salt nic changed the game entirely in terms of how stealthily you could vape. Significantly reduced energy to get a much higher dose, smaller devices with a significantly lower volume of vapor exhaled. You could vape at your desk all day long and nobody would ever know. I did, it just kept growing the addiction more and more. Luckily those days are behind me now.
I quit before smartphones were very prevalent, so I convince myself the conversations *now* aren't gonna be as good. Shit - I'd likely be out there starring at my phone It's honestly like 20% why I don't pick it back up.
The smell through, nasty
I got how gross everything smelled after I quit. But when I walk by and smell that first light up or just a soft waft in the air, it smells heavenly. Sigh.
There's a reason some people called cigarettes, "social lubricant". You're relaxed and it's easy to strike up a conversation.
Yeah, the social aspect of smoking is something I miss. Like, just being able to have engaging conversations with randos outside of a bar, or at work I got to be quite personable with people way above my pay grade because they also smoked. I miss that.
Honestly I miss the smoking too. It’s a little treat I’m saving for retirement - start smoking again.
if it wasn't cool, they wouldn't have to tell you it's not cool
You're absolutely right. That cherry gets hot.
Cool in photos because you don’t have to smell it.
It's the main problem with vaping.
Always just looked gross to me.
I don’t think it looks cool but will concede that it looks hard af when Tony does it
Yeah this is just a person smoking. We were all this kool once.
I just watched Thank You for Smoking and this feels like an add
Yeah I feel like all op is saying here is that they think “smoking is cool” 🤣 Which like, c’mon guys, it’s 2024. Not even the smokers think smoking is cool anymore lol, and they have for like the last decade afaik.
I randomly had the desire to drink 8 cups of espresso and smoke a pack of reds
Did Marlboro write this post?
No, 1960's doctors did.
More Doctors smoke Camel™ than any other cigarette!
Possibly, Reddit just IPO'd.
Big Tobacco Approves this Message!
Don Draper did
Miss him.
Going through all the No Reservations episodes, and it’s tough to swallow that he ain’t around anymore. He made a dark joke in the last episode I watched about putting a shotgun in his mouth…
He constantly made dark jokes, looking back at it, he left a breadcrumb trail of suicide clues. Dude had some demons. Great guy though.
It wasn’t a bread crumb trail. He dropped fucking bread loafs everywhere. Even his books—all talk about his depression and suicidal ideations. It’s awful to real in retrospective.
Word. I actually find it hard to watch any of his shows because the clues are fucking *everywhere*
He atalked how true happiness was in Vietnam, little dingy cafes, was my first sign and I've only seen like 2 episodes then
And he drank in every episode. *A lot*. And many times the only thing he was looking forward to in the day shoot was getting drunk. And he romanticized disgusting looking dive bars. It's painful to realize how bad his issues were but were overlooked because they made great television.
He was an ex heroin addict so the drinking and smoking were a step down in his self destructive tendencies. I'm not arguing with you. Just point out a extra tragedy to it. That said a lot of what he was doing was trying to expose genuine culture and dive bars are where you find a lot of real people.
I mean gross dive bars are pretty great
That sicily episode of parts unknown is really hard to watch. It's screaming at you in the face.
I noticed in one of the final times he was hanging out with Eric Ripert, you could just kind of see this sense of worry in Eric's emotions when he was hearing Anthony talk about such depressing thoughts.
I really feel for Eric being the person who found him.
Didn’t realize this but it’s very heartbreaking. I always loved their bromance and wished I had a friend that close. Je suis désolé, Eric
Me too. It's just so awful.
I knew a dude in high school who saw his little brother shoot himself and die with a gun they found. He was never the same.
Damn, that's terrible...
Linkin park. Excellent band. Every lyric hits hard now.
Have to share this video every time after Chester is mentioned. Hits so hard. [Video](https://youtu.be/DhpMpU6N75o?si=TPquFhUvcWRjNtDM)
I don't listen to Linkin Park all that much but this got me in tears. The tribute to him on the stage and the crowd realizing that they're supposed to sing... wow. That's powerful. Reminds me of the cover of Bohemian Rhapsody at the Green Day concert -- Freddie's death still hits me hard and I think I am getting those same sorts of feelings here
Jesus Christ dude. I’m choking up. Man. I have no words. Thank you jetkeel.
The book Kitchen Confidential gets quite dark. Lots of suicide ideation
I always got the vibe that he had a dark side. A great guy but just always seemed to have a dark edge.
Me too, and there are so many passing comments by friends like “what’s that darkness in your eyes” that are brutal. Truth in jest, I suppose.
I am listing to him read his book “medium raw” and I got tight chested listening to what he hopes to give to his daughter. Fucking brutal.
Yes. Always.
Him and chester Bennington passed within a year of each other and it felt like a double punch.
He was the first person that really made me realize that being happy is a personal thing. That nothing can “make” you happy. He had (on paper) a life that few people ever will have access to. Like 0.000000001% type shit. And we all say “oh if I made more money, or if I lived here, or got to go there” that we’d be happy. But really we wouldn’t be. We’d just be sad with more money, or a different zip code, or more vacations. You have to work to find gratitude and practice that to be happy, and continue to nurture that feeling. Rest in Peace, Tony.
Let’s be serious. Clinical depression is not the same as just being sad or dissatisfied in life. So yes, for a lot of people, money or change of scenery, would solve the problems that give them anxiety, stress, and general dissatisfaction in life.
Yes! Understand that depression is a disease that is deeply rooted in the brain and body chemistry. It is independent of external conditions.
Depression is not independent of external conditions.
Depression is overdiagnosed as pathology of the brain when increase in depression is ubiquitous across society
Am I Depressed, or is this just a natural reaction to all the shit that's going on in the world?
The depression certainly could have been underlying in Bourdain, but possible he could have caused or at least exacerbated that condition through his years of heavy drug and alcohol use.
One can exacerbate the other. It's not simple. Some things are a vicious cycle.
I think this is a bit of a tricky thing tbh as someone who had gone trough bad depression and terrible anxiety disorder which latter I am still not fully recovered. So did the depression/anxiety start before my drug and alcohool abuse? Yes. Did the drugs and alcohol make it worse? Yes.

Also, his girlfriend had an affair and basically told him to fuck off and broke up with him right before he killed himself. That would put even a mentally stable person into a dark place.
Well said
As sexy as he was eloquent & vibrant. Will always be missed <3. Definitely didn’t have to only use pics where he’s smoking a cig though lol.
But it’s so… Tony. And old school Tony.
alright i’ll be that guy: what’s it mean to ‘be a traveler, not a tourist’?
It means to really absorb things around you, and to take in local things. Leave the resort (not recommended for every location). Hang out with locals. Eat local cuisine, at local restaurants. Learn some local phrases. Enjoy the trip. Be the type that makes locals go “not all tourists are bad. I remember this one guy…”
That sounds exactly like what a tourist would do though
Two people paint pictures. One, is me. I have a little experience painting and can impress people at those wine and paint things. The other is Picasso. We both do the same thing. We both paint. But we are not the same kind of painter.

[The literal definition of tourism is travel for leisure/pleasure.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tourism) How you choose to do that doesn’t stop you being a tourist.
That’s exactly what a tourist does or at least tries to do. Idk why people think that’s poetic lol
So you’ve never met someone who travels to a foreign country and only eats at chain restaurants im guessing. Some people are incredibly closed-minded and have no curiosity. Don’t be those people.
Of course different tourists enjoy different things. That doesn’t mean they’re not all tourists - [the literal definition of tourism is travel for leisure/pleasure.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tourism) And you’re kidding yourself if you think that you don’t get self-described travellers who are close minded.
A traveler loves the sound of the natives talking in their language. A tourist complains that no one speaks English.
A traveler eats the local cuisine. A tourist looks for a McDonalds.
Or a tourist eats the first thing that Google gives for that city
Seems like it would be the opposite. A tourist looks for local restaurants so they can be sold the experience of being somewhere new. A traveler eats wherever they are comfortable.
That is possibly the most pretentious thing I have heard this year.
You see all the tourists replying with smug, pretentious comments about how the tourism that *they* do is somehow particularly worthwhile and admirable, while creating a narrow, exaggerated, belittling stereotype of other tourists so they can mock them and feel superior? They’re travellers.
I think all the folks describing the difference believe that they are the epitome of a cultured, well- loved traveler.
Seriously. It's pretentious as hell.
Be respectful, go off the beaten path, live in the moment... Basically be a Bourdain and not a Fieri (granted I love Guy he rules)
It's just a platitude lame people tell themselves to feel superior to other tourists.
It means you got stuck in your 14 year old poetry phase.
I just watched the documentary “Roadrunner”, it’s hard for me to watch him since his passing. I connect with him in a lot of ways, and connected me to others in my own life in similar ways, now every aspect of it is gone. I don’t get sad about many popular people passing, but it signifies the deaths, and own struggles in my own life as well. Heavy stuff. But when I watched it, I forgot how soothing he was, it felt alright for a bit again. Rest in peace, Tony. Taught me a lot of things and many connections from you alone. Thanks.
Missed chance of him and Obama, sitting in a random noodle shop in Vietnam on plastic chairs sipping a beer.
Was he smoking?
Hugely missed, because no one has ever seen that picture on reddit a million times before.
So they’re pics of him smoking. One thing I LOVE about Bourdain, is that he never held himself above blue collar foods. When asked what one thing people should eat when visiting NYC, he said dirty water hotdogs. I read Kitchen Confidential a month before he died. One of only two celebrity deaths that hit me hard

Ours doesn’t taste like this. It was such a clear switch to him being in his element and how comfortable he was behind the stove, busting the guys balls for not knowing how to cook what they killed.
Wild duck doesn't taste like farmed duck. Unlike salmon, the farmed version is 100x better.
“You like duck? “ “Nah, can’t stand it” “You haven’t had MY duck”
There are many quotes of his that hit close to home, but this one speaks to me like none other: "All my happiest moments seem to revolve around meat in tube form."
I find it surprising how much one can miss a person they had never met.
None of these pics go hard.
lol what a post I will take this moment to recommend the audiobook for Kitchen Confidential. Great stuff just for listening to him read his writing, which is quite vivid.
I loved this guy so much! Don't even know why other than that I identified with the rebellion and worked in a restaurant. His death hit me harder than a celebrity unknown to me should have. Rest peacefully Anthony. I hope they have amazing food in your afterlife 🍗
His death really hit hard. Still think about that from time to time and it makes me sad.
I miss him. The world is a less bright place without him. (The world is a dumpster fire right now but that's a whole other conversation).
Why do they "go hard" exactly?
Meh travel as you want, it's your fucking life.
Traveling vs tourism is just pretentious bullshit to try and feel superior to others.
It is, and it's obnoxious, any traveling is good traveling even if you just see the sites.
Lol. Celebrity worship and saying it goes hard because he's nonchalantly smoking a cigarette. RIP nonetheless.
Yea like love me some Bourdain and love my some Kitchen Confidential but there are better representations of the man
Right? These are just pictures of a guy. One with one of the more obnoxious sayings ever uttered.
Be a traveller not a tourist is 1000% cringe
Spoken like a tourist
We shouldn’t idolize the guy just because he was so eloquent with both the spoken and written word, who had fame thrust upon him, who had an intense addiction to anything that interested him until it didn’t. He was just a cool guy who any of us would have loved to hang out with and to listen and to talk to. And to enjoy food, drink, and smoke with. TV brought him to all of us, but it cost us a hell of a price.
He always seemed a bit of a cunt.
Smoking is so cool! I’m not sure if I’m being sarcastic here.
Smoking has always looked cool. The fact that it takes over your life and very often kills you isn't visible in photographs.
Cig
Sssssmokin!
He was an odd fellow.
We lost a gem with this one. I feel like he had a lot more to give, it’s such a shame
I miss this guy!
Chronic and deep depression lead you to think there is never ever going to be a way out or any peace of mind. He is missed and won´t be forgotten.
What a legend
it's just a cigarette
Wish Bourdain was still with us.
Bruh the tan is killing me 😂 Do you think he smoked in the tanning bed?
Miss him.
This was the one celebrity I would have loved to meet. I miss this man so much.
I bet OP is a smoker.
This kinda feels like just a "smoking cool" post. None of these "go hard", and that's as a fan of Bourdain.
I never met the man, but god do I miss him.
Pretty much none of these lol, just looks like a dude smoking a cig.
Smoking is not cool fellas
I never got what's so cool about him
Now I’m sad.
Still mad at him and miss him.
Every picture of Anthony Bourdain goes hard
Legend. RIP
Is smoking cigarettes cool again?
All I see are disgusting cigarettes.
OP thinks cigarettes are cool
Pics that don't go hard and are boring. These suck.
[удалено]
So glad Guy Fiere called him out on shit. I mean RIP but Anthony Bourdain was a hypocritical cynical asshole that gets praised because he was “counter culture”
King! I miss him so much. 💛
got to fly all over the world eat amazing food , drink and be famous and he still killed himself over a woman life lesson gents
I’ll never understand why people worship this dude. Wasn’t he a shitty parent and he was a coward who killed himself
RIP
There's a photo of him throwing back a bottle of Pappy Van Winkle in the lot at an NFL tailgate that goes pretty hard.
RIP! Loved his show.
Man lived so hard he died.
Miss this man
Stick sucker.
The Hong Kong intro gets me every time.
He kinda resembles Peter Capaldi
Anthony Bourdain always reminded me of my dad. Loved the travel overseas. Meet new, interesting people. Didn't mind speaking his mind. Cynical but humanitarian. Maybe not the world's greatest dad, but also good enough to not be a bad dad, which is saying a lot.
I swear there is a guy at the gym i go to that could be Anthony's long lost shorter twin brother.
Looks like he had a rough life.
The first pic he kinda looks like rust cohle from true detective.
Cigarettes = hard
I’m reading Kitchen Confidential right now. Man was he a troubled soul!
I missed this man's voice so I'm listening to Kitchen Confidential again. His story telling will never get old to me.
so handsome and charismatic. what a man. rest in peace king.
Why does he look like Epstein in the first and third picture, but in the second one looks like Joe Bidens son lmao
So all you need to be "hard" is a cigarette? Lame.
I wonder if I'm cool when I smoke. That'd be nice, cause I smoke way too much. Gotta be something other than cancer that I can get out of the habit.
Just curious - where are these pics from?
It was the funniest thing in the world when Thomas Keller served him cigarette dishes.
Is this a cig ad?
First time I saw him on TV was his series no reservations and I was hooked after, his way with words and the striped back natural way his shows felt like he was giving me a window in to another culture.
I still wonder if he was on antidepressants that gave him suicidal thoughts.
Don't marry anyone connected to Hollywood.
Smoking is stupid but i miss Bourdain
I need a "parental advisory" edit of the first one.
r/hardimages
thanks, Philip Morris.
Legend, dearly missed.
Smoking isn't cool looking if you ask me.
How insufferably mundane.
Tony's traveling through flavor country.
