In Jennings early days as a reporter/anchor, the image of the journalist was a hard charging, hard drinking, smoking like a smoke stack individual.
It was also before the days of warning labels on cigarette packs and only about the time that the real risks of smoking were being discovered.
It sounds like he quit when the health risks became obvious, but it was probably too late by then.
