According to TMZ.com, anti-smoking activist Patrick Reynolds, Executive Director of TobaccoFree.org, is asking R-Truth to publicly apologize for smoking after his attack on John Morrison last night.
"For him to smoke in front of [children] is irresponsible," said Reynold. "At best, it's thoughtless, and at worst, if he calculated appealing to kids by posing as a bad-boy outlaw, it's evil."

The TMZ article also has a statement from WWE, which reads, "The negative effect smoking has on one's health and physical performance was a part of a storyline on last night's Monday Night Raw. Negative depictions of tobacco use on television are not unusual and can be seen on other TV-PG shows."

You can check out video of the incident below at the 5:00 mark:
