Smoking stars that no longer exist

Stars are the same people, with their own problems and shortcomings. And diseases associated with smoking do not bypass them. Death doesn't know who is in front of it. Unfortunately, the list of stars who have died from their addiction is growing. Here are just a few of them:

1. Ilya Oleynikov. According to doctors, the cause of death of the actor, who died at 64, was active smoking. Tobacco caused problems with the heart and lungs.
2. Oleg Yankovsky. The legendary film actor died at the age of 65. He was a heavy smoker, preferring pipes and cigars.
3. Andrey Mironov. He was 48 years old when he suffered a stroke during a performance. According to doctors, main reason The stroke was caused by smoking; the actor had been smoking since his youth.
4. Alexander Abdulov. The legendary actor passed away very early, at only 55 years old. The cause of death was lung cancer, caused by many years of smoking.
5. Anna Samokhina. The beauty passed away at the age of 47. As doctors determined, the cause of death was stomach cancer - the result of the actress’s destructive addiction to tobacco. And to this day, fans bring cigarettes to her grave - this amazing woman’s favorite hobby.

This sad list can be continued endlessly. Smoking caused the death of Pavel Luspekayev, Evgeny Evstigneev, Rolan Bykov, Grigory Gorin, Mikael Tariverdiev, Mikhail Kononov, Muslim Magomaev, Oleg Efremov, Nikolai Rybnikov.

I just want to ask, who will be next? Stars who smoke leave the sky too early. How many wonderful roles they could still play and please their fans. How many things were planned and ruthlessly taken away by cigarettes.

Remember that warnings about the dangers of smoking are not an invention of doctors, but a serious threat. Cigarettes bring death to everyone and the only way to avoid fatal diseases caused by nicotine is to quit smoking forever. Take care of yourself!

Stars are people too, stars smoke too. In droves, by the way. IN different time Probably all celebrities smoked, quit, started again and quit again - life is nervous, a cigarette saves. Filming, again, constant flights and paparazzi - in general, this pace will not only make you smoke.

Well, the fact that young talents smoke does not bother anyone.

Miley Cyrus not only smokes everything that can burn, but also does a lot of other things, diligently monitoring the public's reaction. The Olsen twins smoke to avoid eating, Hayden Panettiere, although she recently became a mother, indulges in neither tobacco nor nightclubs, Keira Knightley thinks smoking is sexy, Jennifer Lawrence doesn’t give a damn what people think of her, and Kirsten Dunst smokes... well, he just smokes because he can. And by the way, what Jennifer Lawrence smokes is another question.

Lindsay Lohan, Pink, Mila Kunis - who is surprised by these ladies with a cigarette in their teeth?

By the way, young and old, where do such prejudices come from?

Melanie Griffith, for example, smokes like a steam locomotive. And she's almost sixty! It would seem that it’s time to think about health. Katherine Heigl, Kristen Stewart, Billie Piper, Kate Winslet - they all have smokers age groups, there is no need to even doubt it. Yes, did you know that sexy Jessica Alba is a smoker with 20 years of experience? And that the gentle and lovely Nina Dobrev, a former athlete, never lets a cigarette out of her mouth in real life?

Why, we smoke with the whole family!

Everyone in the formerly happy Depp-Paradise family smokes: dad, aka Johnny, mom Vanessa, young daughter Lily-Rose, and newly acquired stepmother Amber Heard.

For example, do models smoke? And how!

In general, despite statements about a “healthy” body, sports, proper nutrition and so on. From Kate Moss, into whom the cigarette has almost grown into her, to one-day models: everyone smokes on the catwalk, both boys and girls, both famous and unknown, both young and “veterans”.

Mothers of families are also no good.

Jennifer Lopez doesn't just smoke on set. Katie Holmes - what an example for Suri, huh? Milla Jovovich, Kate Hudson, Charlize Theron, Uma Thurman, Sarah Jessica Parker - all in the same place. And then the children are somehow different, they would look at themselves.

It’s clear with mothers. And what example do fathers of families set for their children?

Brad Pitt was never able to get rid of his addiction (Angelina, they say, quit forever), Paul Bettany and Ben Affleck, according to rumors, did not even try to quit, and father of many children Jude Law considers smoking part of his image.

Sean Penn, Keanu Reeves, Michael Fassbender, Chris Payne, Elijah Wood, Colin Farrell - people who are not burdened by family and backbiters, but started smoking ahead of time. Prepare for hardships and adversity.

By the way, Benedict Cumberbatch smokes.

Recognized young macho men also don’t mind smoking a little.

And not just after sex. After meals, during breaks from righteous labors, while walking, in the morning, in the evening, during the day...

A style icon, you might think.

Ears swell. I am begging you. Image is nothing, thirst is everything. Kate Bosworth, Alexa Chung, Sienna Miller, Emma Roberts. They smoke. A lot of.

Yes, I sing. And my cigarette, but of course.

They say singers need to take care of their voices. This is why Adele never gives up her cigarette, Lana del Rey makes courageous but fruitless attempts to quit, and Rihanna, when she gets drunk... Katy Perry also smokes, but is trying to somehow fight the habit.

Getting rid of bad habits can be quite difficult, and even money and expensive anti-smoking products do not help some Russian show business stars in this matter. The editors tell which stars smoke cigarettes.

Nothing helped the star quit smoking. Psychologists, hypnosis, books did not give the desired result. After this, Elizabeth came up with her own way to combat smoking.
