On Kid Cudi's "Big Bro" podcast, Travis Barker opened up about the health scare that finally pushed him to quit smoking. The musician admitted he was a heavy blunt user but only stopped after doctors discovered precancerous changes in his esophagus.

Doctor’s stark warning

Barker explained that a physician friend delivered the serious news and made it clear he needed to stop immediately. He confessed that without that direct advice he probably would have continued smoking, believing he could keep going indefinitely.
