She's been smoking since she was nine - maybe literally - and she wasn't about to quit simply because her voice packed up during a video shoot and doctors were showing her fibre optic shots of an open wound on her larynx", The Independent (UK), Oct. 29, '94

| • | "Joni Mitchell: still smoking. One of the sharpest minds in pop tells Neil McCormick how she fell back in love with music - and why cigarettes are sensuous. 'I'll try not to kill you with secondary smoke,' says Joni Mitchell, as she lights up at the table. The great Canadian singer-songwriter likes her cigarettes, and, at 63, nothing is likely to persuade her to stop smoking now. 'It's one of life's great pleasures,' she says, mischievously revelling in political incorrectness as she exhales a small cloud through wide nostrils. Mitchell's speaking voice is a little husky, and her singing voice has noticeably altered over the years, losing the high end and modulating into a sensuous alto, but she blames age rather than tobacco. 'I have smoked since I was nine, so obviously it didn't affect my early work that much. And then she diverts into a rambling reminiscence of childhood in the remote farming community of Saskatoon. 'I would grab my tobacco and get on my bike, looking for a beautiful place, a grove of trees or a field, and go amongst the bushes and smoke and that always gave me a sense of well being'", Daily Telegraph (UK), Oct. 4, '07

But I had this debt to pay back because I did stand up, unfurl, and walk. So I joined the church choir and one night after choir practice, in the middle of the winter, a girl had snitched a pack of Black Cat cork from her mother and we all sat in the wintery fish pond in the snow, and passed them around. And you know, some girls choked and some threw up, and I took one puff and felt really smart! I mean I just thought, 'Woah!'. My head cleared up. I seemed to see better and think better. So I was a smoker from that day on. Secretly, covertly, and I'm still smoking", where?, when?
