Non-smoking Celebrities...

[Deleted]

Is it me or does every celebrity, whether it be Harry Potter or Ugly Betty (their actors), seem to smoke? Is there some kind of rule deeming you to smoke upon entrance into the Celebrity world - or do destined celebrities automatically like the garden's leaves too much. Do we know of any that don't smoke?

HP and ugly betty are characters not celebrities.

Pretty sure there are some, but like why do you care what celebs do with their personal life?

Lot of sources of temptation and pressure.

1. Their job in the case of actors. Yeah, there are roles that require smoking, or at least the appearance of it.
2. The party lifestyle of celebrities.
3. The bohemian upbringing of many artists. Not really afraid to try anything at least once and surrounded by those who are not artists that do the same.

Nicotine is an appetite suppressant, and you know how celebrities and image work. That could have something to do with it maybe?

Young stars tend to become drug addict losers sooner or later (Source: my rear end) Nicotine is also a drug.

Macaulay Culkin (Home alone) - drug addict
Michael jackson - addict of painkillers, sleeping pills, died of overdose
Lindsay Lohan - junkie

Justin Bieber and Daniel Radcliffe are next in line.

What the face thing said.

[Payday]

Probably has something to do with the "bigger than life" mindset.

No, she just goes through boyfriends about as often as a smoker goes through a pack.

[Pull My Finger]

Oh, come on. Why would it be any different from average people smoking.

[OmniSkribe]

Martin Sheen (Illusive Man Mass Effect) don't smoke. Its' been stated that he had to suck pen during voice recordings to imitate cigarette in mouth.

[Thelxi]

Sorry I can't stop laughing at this thread.

Official statistics show about only 1 in 5 adults in the US smoke (CDC) ...

That said, I can give you one HUGE star that does not smoke: Madonna. She's also the kind of woman who would probably put a stilleto into the back of you brain if you tried to smoke in front of her!

... oh wait, she only tells her fans not to smoke THEN she puffs up herself after performances.

Who cares?

He used to so yeah I wouldn't count him.

Professor Snape cares.

Professor Snape cares.

Someone's been leaving cigarette butts all around Slytherin Hall.

Their lifestyle is significantly different from your average person. Why wouldn't they deal with different social pressure?

Because that would be judgemental and pseudo-psychoanalytical. If you look at it like that, you would also have to assume that the majority of average people who smoke also must have unusual lives, suffer from abnormal pressure and attribute their habit to some mental/personal shortcomings. Oh wait. That's what anti-smoke-bigots do anyway.
