The topic of stroke will become a popular focus when a celebrity dies from it, and announced on social media, especially at such a young age. Stroke has hit many people of all ages. Why does it need to be a celebrity before we focus on health.

Um, smoking absolutely increases your risk of stroke.

Take your debate to the Health & Medicine forum. By all accounts, Luke Perry did not smoke.

Why do you keep saying this over and over? There is a People article from his 90210 days saying he smoked Marlboro lights during the interview. There's an account for you!

Goodbye Dylan! I watched you with good friends while drinking wine and trying to recover from post-structuralist theory in grad school. RIP!

NP here. So what, he smoked 25 years ago? If he quit, it didn’t cause the stroke.

OK dumbell, stick topics you know. Smoking nearly doubles your risk of having an ischaemic stroke. Smokers are also more likely to develop high blood pressure, which is a major risk factor for stroke.

And yet, Keith Richards is lighting another cigarette while downing third or forth vodka and cranberry juice, same as every other day.

hey all - maybe instead of debating the health risk factors of someone that I'm pretty sure that none of us (or at least, most of us) did not know personally, we could focus on the loss of an actor who resonated with many of us - especially back when we were younger. It'd be a whole heck of a lot more interesting to read memories of watching Luke Perry in 90210 or in anything else, than debating whether or not he smoked.

Here, I'll add mine. I hadn't thought about 90210 or Luke Perry or any of the other stars in quite some time, but as a 44 year old woman, I'll say that when I heard of his death, I gasped. What a gut punch. Guess it's the loss of someone who was so familiar from my teen years.

I think he was a first love for many of us middle-aged ladies. Such a handsome man. So sad to lose him so young.

Yeah. Agreed. And a first "forbidden love" because he was a bad boy.

I’m concerned for Christian Slater now - I had George Michael, Luke Perry and Christian on my walls as a teen

I would be more worried about Christian Slater dying from too much plastic surgery than a stroke/heart attack/CHF.

There is no statement from him, or any reports, that he quit.
