My brother-in-law tried out for American Idol. He got told yes. Pretty cool right? Well he had to drive to Oklahoma for the show, and they told him "He wouldn't be worth the investment" all because he smokes cigarettes.
Seriously fucked up.

Life is life, sometimes brutal, but still life.
Singer? Or what?

This happens all the time. People dont want to invest in singers who constantly mess up their lungs on a daily basis. It may seem unfair but it is a business before anything.

smoking will only make you lungs weak. Makes sense why they wont bother with him. Its stupid they made him drive out there but its reasonable to turn him away.
-
He would have quit smoking months ago if he knew it would have been an issue. They didn't even give him the option to stop smoking to continue. He's a REALLY good singer.
That was the fucked up part. Not that he got turned away without the option to quit to proceed (which is still kinda stupid). it's that he drove all the way to Oklahoma from SC just to be told that.

I concur.
