I just read that he quit smoking 30 years ago, but did smoke most of his life previous to that. It sucks that so long after quitting they can still get to you like that.

Astronaut Salutes Nimoy From Orbit
International Space Station astronaut Terry Virts (@AstroTerry) tweeted this image of a Vulcan hand salute from orbit as a tribute to actor Leonard Nimoy, who died on Friday, Feb. 27, 2015. Nimoy played science officer Mr. Spock in the Star Trek series that served as an inspiration to generations of scientists, engineers and sci-fi fans around the world.
Cape Cod and Boston, Massachusetts, Nimoy's home town, are visible through the station window.

Those ending scenes in Wrath of Khan may very well be Leonard Nimoy's AND William Shatner's best performances ever.
Early in the movie, there is a scene that came as kind of a shock. A trainee had just completed the Kobayashi Maru exercise, and the entire crew had been lost, including Spock. Kirk walks in, sees Spock standing there and says, "Aren't you supposed to be dead?" That's a little bit of foreshadowing that I had never noticed before, and the line caused us both to let out a little gasp.
