Paul McCartney quit smoking around 1981. He was on holiday with his family, and one of his children took sick or was injured. He had to run on foot about two miles to get help. He was so out of breath after this that he determined to not smoke anymore.
The break-up of The Beatles was a long and complex process, but Paul's press release accompanying his first solo album ('McCartney') is probably the event that marks when time was really called on the band. It is dated April 9th 1970, but did not reach most news outlets until the following day.
cos linda told him to
He probably saw that they were doing more harm than good. I'm unclear when he quit them but Paul McCartney quit when George Harrison was diagnosed with cancer; that eventually spread and led on to kill him.
He must have started smoking early in life.
He quit smoking in 2002
Throat cancer, which spread to his lungs, then his brain. "I got it purely from smoking", he said in a latter-day interview. Harrison died at 1:30 pm on the 29th of November 2001, at Gavin de Becker's home in Los Angeles. George Harrison died November 29, 2001 at 58 years old. ********** George was a very heavy smoker of up to 3 packs per day it has been said. Some sources say he quit smoking in the 80's and some say it was as late as 1997 or he started again. Another thing that has to be taken into consideration for all of the Beatles is the prolonged exposure to massive amounts of second hand smoke in bars and enclosed arenas, etc. which was indicative to their early career. Also pot smoking is very bad as it has a higher sticky tar-like residue added to the lungs and George was a heavy pot smoker as well a large part of his life. Cigarette smoking is a horrible addiction - not a "habit" as non-smokers flippantly call it. It takes years to quit and be successfully quit. Sometimes it's too late.
