Need Help Quitting Smoking? by
"Getting pregnant is a good way to stop, although I started again after the baby was
born."
Selma Blair
"I'm honest about it and tell you that I've smoked. But I hate the way that it smells, and if nothing else, it makes your teeth fall out. It was a vanity thing [giving
up]."
Ming-Na
"Hmm. How did I quit? Just cold turkey. I never was a big smoker. At the most, like four or five in a day, and so I was considered a social or stress smoker. I quit because I just didn't like the
smell."
Helena Christensen
"Well I have a lot of vices but I don't see them as vices, I think life would be so boring without them."
Peri Gilpin
"I am just ashamed to say I am a smoker. It's awful. I'm quitting. But I've never tried that [giving up] because I hate the idea of sticking nicotine on me. I don't like smoke. I don't like the way it smells. I think it's an oral fixation and I think that's why a lot of actors smoke. Because if they can't talk, if they're not chewing gum, if they're not eating, they're
smoking."
Christy Turlington
"When I started modeling, I wanted to appear more grown-up, and smoking easily did that for me. By 16, I was on a pack a day. The frightening thing is my smoking caused permanent damage. It seems so ironic - breathing is part of the process that sustains life; you breathe in cigarettes and they take your breath
away."
Charlize Theron
"I quit, but now I can't stand not smoking. After a big steak dinner I enjoy nothing more than smoking tobacco in my
hookah."
Gwyneth Paltrow
"I don't have anymore vices. I stopped them all because of yoga - including smoking, which was a tough decision because I smoked a packet a day for a long time, from the age of 15 to about 24. Sometimes, especially when I'm in Europe, I think 'I want a cigarette right now' but there's a great pleasure in having control over
yourself."
Elizabeth Hurley
"I'm trying really hard to stop. I think it's pretty hard to stop if you are a smoker. I've had friends who have kicked really terrible things such as heroin, and they always say giving up cigarettes is physically harder. Apparently it takes longer. In fact, people say it's a lifelong process."
