Hollywood’s Hottest Celebrities are Smoking…Literally
I don’t see the appeal. We know that these cancerous sticks have no benefit to our bodies; they only cause damage. I just don’t get it. Hollywood is still living in the early 19th century, not by the type of movies that they, and not so much in the actual productions themselves. But the megastar actors are. Everyday actors are seen by the paparazzi smoking away on a cigarette. I don’t get it. Did they not get the news flash that cigarettes cause cancer, that they are addictive, that they harm those around you as well? They are no longer glamorous like previously portrayed in movies. People now are knowledgeable of the consequences of smoking, so why do they still do it? Especially these high profile stars?
For example, I was reading a celebrity gossip website, and one of the stories was about the whole (minus 3) cast of Twilight smoking on set. First of all, Twilight is a huge movie and Robert Pattinson has become even more famous of because of it, a full-fledged heartthrob even. So when millions of girls look for news about Robert Pattinson, what will they find? A picture of him smoking cigarettes with his costars on set! Outrageous! Young people look up to these Hollywood stars; they should know that what they do and how they act do have an effect on their group of fans. They are giving their admirers the false idea that smoking is “cool” and has not consequences. But it is a proven scientific fact that there are no health benefits of smoking. It just doesn’t make sense to me, why the younger generation, who knows about these negative side effects, would still put themselves in harm’s way by deciding to smoke. And if Hollywood’s A-list stars want to harm themselves fine, just make sure there’re no cameras around to flaunt that ugly habit.
