Acclaimed director David Lynch started smoking at age 8 and now relies on supplemental oxygen for anything more strenuous than a walk across a room, he said in an interview to People, warning people of the dangers of smoking.
He also said that he had officially quit smoking two years prior.
Despite his current condition, Lynch told People he wouldn’t change a thing about including cigarettes so frequently in his work.
"I saw the writing on the wall, and it said, 'You’re going to die in a week if you don’t stop,'" Lynch told People.
While he admitted that his current state has been a "big price to pay," Lynch told People, "I don’t regret it.
