Yep. He was quite a smoker. I read an FAA report regarding his airplane crash a few years ago. The instruments, altimeter tubing, and ductwork were fouled with tar from tobacco products. Swayze reported becoming dizzy and disorientated while flying and tried to land on a runway, which was actually a road. The FAA suspects he became overcome by chemicals in the cigarette smoke and the lack of oxygen in the cabin air of his pressurized aircraft.
