CELEBRITIES have all sorts of vices and addictions, including smoking – and it seems some stars would rather keep that fact under wraps.

The21-year-old woreher hairin a ponytail with her bangs flowing in the wind and a pair of sunglasses on top of her head.
But online, fans of the beauty bashed her ugly habit.
“Young person does stupid thing for their long-term health and well-being in an attempt to seem cool and edgy,” one person said.
“Incredibly stupid and unhealthy,” said another.
“Smoking is so gross lol I don’t know how young people are still getting into it,” said a third.
However, Jenna is hardly the only celeb to get busted sneaking a puff.

How to quit smoking
Here are just a few ways to help you quit smoking for good and protect yourself from respiratory disease.
1. Make a list of reasons
As a smoker, you probably have plenty of reasons to quit, but have you ever written them down physically?
2. Set a date
Set a “quit date” – and then stick to it, says celebrity hypnotherapist Max Kirsten.
He said, “If you are quitting by yourself, I recommend that just before you stop smoking completely on your quit date you try smoking another brand for at least a few days as they just won’t seem as enjoyable.”
3. Change your diet
Researchers in the US found that some foods, including meat, can make cigarettes more satisfying.
While things like cheese, fruit, and vegetables can make them taste disgusting.
4. Change your drink
The same researchers who carried out the study mentioned above also found that certain drinks make ciggies taste better.
They found that fizzy pop, alcohol, cola, tea, and coffee all made cigs more appealing.
5. Get friends involved
As the saying goes, strength in numbers.
6. Don’t go cold turkey
Only 4% of people who quit cold turkey are successful, research suggests.
But using nicotine replacement therapies like patches and lozenges increases your chance of quitting by 1.5 times, according to theBBC.
7. Get active
Scientists say that even five minutes of walking or stretching is enough to cut cravings.
Gaga previously told Huffington Postthat she favors a glass of whisky while she puffs – especially while she works her magic.
“It just frees my mind a little bit,” she said.
JENNIFER LAWRENCE

The Hunger Games star has also openly talked about her preference for marijuana.
She was spotted smoking while in New Orleans in 2018.
The Oscar winner stepped out into an alley to indulge in a hand-rolled cigarette.
DUA LIPA

Dua Lipa announced in 2022 that she had quit smoking to keep herself healthy for her Future Nostalgia tour.
She also said in an interview that she’d hired a personal yoga instructor to help her stay fit and healthy on tour.
But apparently, it didn’t stick, as she has been spotted with a cigarette on multiple occasions since then.
Dua was spotted celebrating her summer film Barbie in a tropical vacation spot with a cigarette.
