Katherine Heigl Hates That She Smokes
January 23, 2008 by Ingrid Diaz
In an interview with The Washington Post Katherine Heigl revealed the following on the subject of her smoking:
“It’s so stupid,” she said. “I started when I was like 22 or 23, and I had my first cigarette at a bar one night, and I was like mmm. … I’ll try this. I can have just one. I am not gonna get addicted. Then you start bumming. I’m bumming. I don’t buy my own packs. I’m not addicted. Then you go through something that is hard or difficult or stressful and you buy your first pack and it’s all over,” said Heigl. “And now it’s all about how you’re going to quit,” she adds. “I’ve tried everything.”
I’ve tried Wellbutrin” – a anti-depression drug – “which made me really happy while I smoked. Tried the patch. Tried gum. I hate the gum. It burns my mouth. I think I have to quit the old-fashioned way.”
Of course, it doesn’t seem like she’s in the process of trying to quit. The actress was recently seen buying three packs of cigarettes at an L.A. gas station after her plane from JFK landed at LAX.
She has “tried” which means it didn’t happen. The only way I was able to quit was through hypnosis. I liked to smoke – but I knew my health was a risk so I did a group quit smoking hypnosis thing three years ago. They combine it with a weight loss session and it worked – I haven’t even wanted a cigarette since then. And it was only $45.00!!
I tried over and over again. By the time I quit, through group support classes, I had destroyed my lungs. I have all the ambition to be an active person and I can barely exist to take care of myself. Do whatever necesary to quit NOW and don’t put it off. I can promise you, if you don’t, you will regret it. I live a painful life even though I try my best to be a bit active. Computer and TV have had to become my main source of entertainment. I would love more than anything to see people on TV and films give up smoking. You do not need it for props. And it DOES NOT LOOK COOL. Oxygen 24 hrs a day doesn’t look cool either and that is how I live mainly through my stupidity. QUIT NOW.
She’s hot…what a pity she smoking!
