From Snoop Dogg ‘quitting weed’ to Gwyneth Paltrow’s Diapér: why we’ll never stop falling for celebrity stunts

The hip-hop star’s announcement he had decided to ‘give up smoke’ turned out to be promoting a smokeless fire pit. His publicity stunt was not the first and won’t be the last

Last week, according to several major news outlets, Snoop Dogg quit smoking weed.

The Independent, the BBC and CNN all reported that the rapper, who has his own cannabis line, had decided to “give up smoke” after he shared a post on Instagram announcing that the move had followed “much consideration & conversation with my family” and asking the public to “please respect my privacy at this time”.
