Now it turns out that the entire ordeal was just a clever marketing tactic used by the Solo Stove Firepit Company to advertise their smokeless stove. In a recent statement, Snoop Dogg said:
"I love a good fire outside but the smoke was too much. Solo Stove fixed fire and took out the smoke. They changed the game and now I’m excited to spread the love and stay warm with my friends and family."

So, he wasn't really talking about quitting Marijuana and fans were both surprised, happy, and exhilarated by this revelation.

From the very start, there was something very comic about Snoop Dogg's announcement and the reaction. First of all, it came very suddenly, with very few anticipating it. Secondly, the post was rather hilarious, with the veteran rapper's picture in black and white and a quote that read:

"After much consideration and conversation with my family. I’ve decided to give up smoke. Please respect my privacy at this time."
This makes more sense now as we understand this was all a very clever advertising idea, which the rapper played along brilliantly, stringing millions of fans along. Since this announcement, Snoop Dogg's decision to quit has been an active topic of discussion in almost all circles.
