He didn't say he smoked them, he just said he had them...I guess it can be literal or symbolism...

2 cigs would most likely mean 1 for each person but he's lonely and stuck with 2 cigs !!!

Prince wrote "17 Days" for Brenda Bennett, one third of Vanity/Apollonia 6 (she was a smoker). So since the song was originally for her, that's why the smoking line is in there. Prince didn't take out the line when he sang it.

I don't know why it would offend so many people if Prince did smoke cigarettes. Hell, it's not illegal. Non-smokers act like smoking is the ultimate sin. I get so tired of hearing "You know that will kill you, don't you". Of course, I reply "Thank you for sharing that with me...I've been alive for 37 years and I've never seen any of the commercials". lol

God, I've heard this question a million times! The song you are referring to, 17 Days, was written for Apollonia 6....for Brenda Bennett to sing since she smoked. Since it was never used for that project, Prince decided to release it as a B-side.

Maybe the girl smoked and she left him with nothing but two of her cigarettes (no need to post about the song being written for Brenda again, please).

I saw a picture of him Dirty Mind era where he looked very high. Doesn't mean anything, but he does reference weed a lot. I wouldn't be surprised if he'd done it. "Education got important...to Victor even more important than ripple & weed" He's not saying ripple & weed aren't important! lol

I think that line was more about Imperial Tobacco being a large contributor to the presidential campaign than it was a comment on smoking.
