Celebrity
Smokers Suck
|
|
Pulp Fiction was a ground breaking film, and no one in it more iconic than Uma lazily dragging on her cigarettes with a louche display of insouciance. She may have cleaned up a little since then, but the actress has always been a smoker, Marlboto Lights being her particular weakness. She gave up the evil weed in when she was pregnant, but whether she is still an ash free zone is unconfirmed. We can single handedly blame her for making smoking cool, and for creating a decade of bad bob inspired haircuts. |
Number 2: Drew Barrymore
Drew's always had a reputation as something of a
wild child, having entered rehab in her teens and
having a wild series of on/off public love affairs.
This girl started smoking aged a mere nine and a
half, and her fag of choice, Marlboro Reds. There's
no denying she looked cute, but as she's grown
older she's moved towards the Hollywood life of
early nights and wheat grass juice. Ah, well, we
can't be young and carefree forever, but she still
has her kooky side, and has been recently linked to
Scrubs star Zach Braff.
Number 3: Kate Moss
Supermodel, diva, earth mother, call her what
you will, Kate is pretty much the poster child for
Britain in the twentieth century, with her meteoric
rise to fame as a gawky fifteen year old, to her
now super status as one of the most photographed
and gossiped about women in world. Hardly a great
role model, she still manages to look good doing
pretty much anything; face it, this is the woman
who has made Pete Doherty desirable! We want to be
her, we want to watch her, do we want to smoke like
her? It's a widely known fact that models tend to
smoke rather than eat, but as such a public figure
Kate should really know better. At least she's not
of the Britney style school of thought where she
'never smoked or had sex' till she overdosed on it.
Kate is honest and forthright about her smoking,
and her devil may care attitude is why we love
her.(Well, that and her razor sharp cheek
bones)
Number 4: Jennifer Aniston
Our favourite Friend is well known for her two
packs of Merit a day. It's refreshing to find an
American who will actually light up in public,
rather than pretending it was a youthful folly the
day they were photographed, and Jen is on record as
a smoker, apparently smoking with the gorgeous Brad
when they were still a couple.
Number 5: Rita Hayworth
She hails from an era where smoking was socially
acceptable, we're talking ashtrays on planes,
trains and automobiles, and as such the retro
glamour she holds is unsullied. Plus, all pictures
were black and white, and we all know age spots and
wrinkles show up less in monochrome. The renown
love goddess looks seriously stylish with her
cigarette holder and is smoking chic at its most
glamorous.
Truly, we have reached an end of an era, but while smoking continues to be prevalent in the movies, this is one bad habit that will never truly go away; but in the mean time we have a cleaner Britain to look forward too, and that can't be a bad thing, surely?
Kissing a smoker is like licking an ashtray.
