Yes, John Mellencamp still smokes and has confirmed he is a long-term, daily smoker who has continued the habit despite a heart attack at age 42 in 1994. As of 2023, he indicated he still smokes a pack of cigarettes a day, though he has described his lungs as surprisingly healthy in medical checkups.
Habit Persistence: Despite knowing he should quit, Mellencamp has stated he is a "nicotine addict" and has smoked since he was 10 years old.
