Kate Moss Will Never Stop Smoking
Jul 21, 2008 AT 09:25 am
The girl is honest. You have to give her that.
When asked if she would ever put down her cigarette, Kate Moss said absolutely not. It is part of who the model is and Kate thinks it's for the best.
It’s who I am. I don’t want to create a phony facade. I think I just have to be myself, otherwise I’d just be a paranoid mess."

Well, that's extremely intelligent and insightful. And in thirty years' time, when she's dying a miserable death from lung cancer and/or emphysema, I'm sure her daughter will totally understand Kate's uberselfish quest to "just be herself."

I HATE smoking is all. I HATE it. I live in Virginia, which is THE tobacco capital of the universe, I swear. I'm sick of going to restaurants and coming home smelling like absolute **** because of people who can't EAT instead of suck on a cigarette the whole **** time. I'm also sick of riding past people on my bicycle and having their secondhand smoke waft towards my lungs. And I'm entirely sick of people who smoke around their kids, because it's just one of the most selfish things they can do. If you smoke around your kids, you may as well beat them, too. They're both selfish and abusive actions. I've lost two grandparents to lung cancer, and my boyfriend's dad is slowly languishing from the same disease. It's horrific and utterly stupid -- not that I wasn't dumb enough in high school and college to dabble with smoking, but GOD, I cannot imagine doing it now. They need to raise the cost of a pack of cigarettes to thirty bucks or something completely outrageous. It's the only way people will stop. I have zero respect for Kate Moss. She's just a cokehead and a total idiot, and there's a BIG REASON why she looks so haggard.

Wow, you can smoke in restaurants in Virginia? Here in Toronto, smoking is banned in restaurants, bars and nightclubs. It's fantastic. You can go out and not come back smelling like a pack of cigarettes. I totally hear you on smoking. I never felt the urge to smoke because I used to always hear my father wake up with the smokers hack and it disgusted me so much that I told myself I'll never touch that stuff. I lived in Europe for 5 years and you know what's shocking? They have cigarette vending machines on the streets so anyone, even a kid, could buy a pack and no one cares. Really sad! In Europe, if you're a non-smoker, you're completely out-numbered. sad, sad, sad

I'm SO JEALOUS!! This just further proves my theory that Canada is superior to America in virtually every single aspect. How can I get a Canadian visa? Seriously. If McCain gets elected as the next American president, you might get a new neighbor.

Indoor smoking is banned here in Florida, too. Don't leave the U.S., Ernestine--just Virginia!

In the state of Victoria in Australia, smoking is banned in any public place, or enclosed space. It is also banned near children's playgrounds and inside the fences of schools. It is an offence to sell tobacco products to anyone under the age of 18 years, and proof of age must be asked for. Cigarette packets carry large pictures of diseased lungs, clogged arteries, etc. as well as worded warnings. The Federal Government runs an anti-smoking campaign in the media, the television "ads" being most graphic. The current ones feature youngish adults who are dying of lung cancer with young families featuring a message something like, "Look at what you're giving up by not giving up..." Tobacco advertising has been banned for years in Australia. The level of smoking has dropped markedly over the past few decades, but it is still a major public health concern. The downside of not allowing smokers to indulge indoors is that they now congegate outside buildings on footpaths so that walking down the street can become an exercise in how long you can hold your breath, as well as all the butts they leave lying around. But at least you can go to a restaurant, bar or pub and enjoy the clean air, and actually go home without reaking of someone else's second-hand smoke. As for Kate Moss, she obviously has problems with addiction, but I guess smoking is less harmful than crack or cocaine. It's strange though that a woman who makes her money from her looks indulges in a habit guaranteed to prematurely age her.
Hey, Aussies also care very deeply for their environment and the planet as a whole. Go figure!

I hate it when people think that smoking is "who they are" instead of it just being something they do..
I heard she smokes three pack a day....THREE pack a day. That's absolutely disgusting. I can't believe you're giving her credit for being honest...seriously, that is nothing to brag about!!
Well I'd rather have her be honest about smoking and not desiring to quit, instead of her insisting something rubbish such as she "only smokes occasionally" or that she's "trying to quit" (and then would get hammered by the press whenever they see her smoking), etc. Quitting a habit like that is not something to be taken lightly at all! I'm not defending her smoking, not at all, but a masked or half-assed attempt at quitting never works.

People need to find something else to get peeved over other than whether Kate Moss smokes. For all you know she could live to be 90. Plenty of drinking, smoking hellraisers do. What do you care anyway? Besides, I love it when fat women complain about smoke being unhealthy, as though that extra 20 lbs of lard they are carrying around is a health tonic. Get over it, people. Not everyone chooses to live worrying about how they are going to die, which we all do eventually......................even you, no matter what.
I completely agree. People should focus on themselves, not what others are doing. Don't like smoking? DON'T do it. Plain and simple.

I'm just going to go out on a huuuuge limb and assume that you're a smoker, Ellie.

I appreciate her honesty. My dad died of lung cancer and I quit smoking about a year ago. And I'll be honest - I STILL miss it. It's such a gross habit but I LIKED smoking. Didn't smoke around the kids or in the house or any of that but I LIKED it. Yes, I feel better now but I still miss it.
Can't Help MyselfJul 21, 2008 @ 11:10 am
The feeling of loss you're experiencing now will eventually turn to indifference. It MAY even turn to disdain, as it did for me; you're still relatively new to the non-smoking thing.
Semi ObsessedJul 21, 2008 @ 12:58 pm
Well, like it or not, smoking isn't illegal and to raise a pack of cigarettes to $30 a piece is crazy. I agree that smoking around children is moronic and abuse....so is alcohol and a whole list of other things. People have the right to choose what they want to do with their lives. To "hate" someone because they smoke is a very jaded way to think of things.
BrowserJul 21, 2008 @ 11:11 am
I don't automatically hate a person who smokes. I pity the addict, but I DO despise the habit, because it's not fair to inflict it on other people. The non-smoking drunk who sits on a stool by himself in some bar and sips bourbon for hours and hours is only hurting himself -- unless he chooses to drive home or abuse his loved ones during some inebriated rage. And I really don't think that upping the cost of cigarettes is crazy, considering how non-smokers end up having to pay into things like Medicaid to support smokers when they finally become ill. I remember how, In Australia, cigarettes were something like ten or twelve bucks a pack -- and I was there nearly a decade ago. The tobacco industry/lobby is a powerful, evil force in this country. They WANT to kill people -- slowly -- and they're paying politicians to keep this dirty habit thriving.
BrowserJul 21, 2008 @ 11:19 am
I do agree with you to a point about the Medicaid sitsuation, however, those same funds go to people that have children and can't afford to pay for them, etc. So, does that mean I have the right to tell a person they can't have a child because I don't think they should? Even if I did tell them, it is the law that they are allowed to. Do I think it is fair? No. Do I think it is BS? Yes. It is what it is though. My point being, where do you draw the line? No matter what you do, you could negatively effect someone. Being fathered by an alcoholic, I can tell you for certain that the smoking or non-smoking drunk sitting at the bar is indeed hurting other people than himself. Cigarettes are terrible! They slowly kill people and in a very painful way, but I do believe that people have the right to live the life of their choosing. No matter what the subject, just take a look at the topics of late on this blog - immunizations, using a derrogartory term against certain people, there are always going to be people that see things in a different light and they are allowed to do that.

A cigarette contains about 4000 chemicals, many of which are poisonous. Some of the worst ones are: Nicotine: a deadly poison Arsenic: used in rat poison Methane: a component of rocket fuel Ammonia: found in floor cleaner Cadmium: used in batteries Carbon Monoxide: part of car exhaust Formaldehyde: used to preserve body tissue Butane: lighter fluid Hydrogen Cyanide: the poison used in gas chambers
At least she is honest, something most 'celebs' are never. She knows the consequences at least she is not sniffing coke anymore.
Oh, I'm pretty sure she's still dipping her pretty little nose in the booger sugar, too, Melissa. It's not as if any consequences were doled out the last time she got busted for it. She's a celebrity, remember? They can basically do whatever the hell they want -- even if it's on camera -- and totally get away with it.

Riviera, I'm from Europe, and while I agree completly about what you said about smoking, it is not true that we have cigarette vending machines here. SOME countries had those back in the 90ies, that's correct. You're not allowed to smoke in public places in Europe, including restaurants, bars, community buildings, offices, etc. Plus, here we have pictures of smoker lungs and other disgusting photos with texts like smoking kills your unborn child, smoking kills, etc on every single cigarette box. I really had the urge to put that right because honestly, I read this so often "in Europe everyone's a nudist, in Europe people swim naked, in Europe they do this and that" it's just not true and I don't know why Americans have so much prejudices about life here. And Europe is a contitent with many, many individual countries, it's not like the states in the US, every country here is extremly different, and you can't say "in Europe they do this" Just wanted to say this :)
I've never been to Europe, but I DO admit that I have this image of places like France as being totally full of espresso-chugging nicotine addicts. Thanks for giving me another view -- your points are valid, articulate, and well-taken.
BrowserJul 21, 2008 @ 01:40 pm
I was in Europe last year and I did bought cigarrets from vending machines. And just like you said, let's not generalize... in some countries you can still smoke indoors.
Poor Kate! She is starting to look really haggard and dry these day... too many drugs and cigarettes. They're already airbrushing her to death in the modeling pictures. She just doesn't look healthy for her age, but seems really emotionally wracked out all the time... I hope she gets treatment that sticks with her, or she will have emphysema before too long from all the crack and cigarettes.
As an ex smoker, I completely understand how difficult it is to kick the nasty habit. I smoked from age 21 to 32 until I was finally able to kick the habit. Its been six months but I tried to quit at least 10 times in the past. What I dont understand is why Kate needs smoking "to be herself." That is a completely lame comment which doesnt even make sense. I would understand it more if she said that the nictotine addiction is hard to kick ect ect. I guess the difference for me is that the whole time I was smoking I knew it was bad and I always desired to quit.
ERNESTINE SAID: And I really don't think that upping the cost of cigarettes is crazy, considering how non-smokers end up having to pay into things like Medicaid to support smokers when they finally become ill. ........................................................... Everyone pays for everyone else in some way or another, just like we all pay for unemployed slags to have a baseball team of kids they can't afford. Plenty of non-smokers have chronic illnesses (the biggest $$$$$ expense of all) that are exacerbated by their lifestyle choices such as diet and lack of exercise. Some people just have sh*t for genes and have too many health problems to count.
BrowserJul 21, 2008 @ 01:25 pm
I agree that preventative education is the best defense against chronic illnesses, and I also agree that there are plenty of people who refuse to eat healthily and exercise, and this is a shame. And, yes, there are people who just have a really unfortunate genetic history with diseases. I also think your views on welfare may be a little skewed, but whatever. I guess my point is this: I'd WAY rather have a few of my tax dollars go toward helping some kid with leukemia than a 70-something man who has lung cancer because he obstinately refused to quit smoking decades ago. I still maintain that cigarettes should be at LEAST ten bucks a pack. But hell, the way the economy's slowly dipping further and further into the ****, all I have to do is wait a couple of years.
