My bladder cancer was related to smoking, and I think smoking kills people.

It is better to not even try it than to endure the ramifications of either quitting smoking or dying.

- Christy Turlington

I would be very proud to have influenced anyone that I know or don't know to quit smoking.

- Christy Turlington

Parents should not smoke in order to discourage their kids from smoking. A child is more likely to smoke when they have been raised in the environment of a smoker.

I'll go back to comedy clubs when they get a real no-camera policy, the same way they did with smoking.

- Chris Rock

For now, I'm just going to hang out with these two smoking hotties and fly privately around the world. It might be lonely up here, but I sure like the view.

- Charlie Sheen

Boxing has kept me off the streets, stops me smoking and drinking and gives me something to do.

- Billy Joe Saunders

I've never heard of anybody smoking a joint and going on a rampage. It makes you lie around on the floor and look at the ceiling. What's wrong with that?

- Billy Bob Thornton

When I was an art student in the early 60's before the acid scene began I was smoking pot just like anyone else who was an artist.

- Bill Griffith

The upside to smoking is that you get to be social. I was looking for a light when I bumped into Ben Harper's manager. A couple of days later, Ben and I were in the studio.

- Beth Orton

Obama is the new kid with the weird name who people just sense is a little classier than his surroundings. He moved from a private school where he was class president and is now at the giant public high school with the metal detectors and the smoking lounge.

- Adam McKay

Smoking kills. If you're killed, you've lost a very important part of your life.

- Brooke Shields

I was never particularly wild, just very busy and often didn't think about what I was putting into my body. Today things are very different. I stopped smoking in my late 30s; I avoid wheat and gluten as this makes me feel bloated and sluggish; exercise regularly and bounce out of bed.

- Britt Ekland

I stopped smoking. When I stopped smoking, my voice changed... so drastically, I couldn't believe it myself.

- Bob Dylan

You want to have two guys making out in front of your 4-year-old? It's OK with them. A guy smoking a joint, blowing the smoke into your little kid's face? OK with them. And I'm not exaggerating here. This is exactly what the secular movement stands for.

- Bill O'Reilly

They're talking about banning cigarette smoking now in any place that's used by ten or more people in a week, which, I guess, means that Madonna can't even smoke in bed.

- Bill Maher

I thought I couldn't afford to take her out and smoke as well. So I gave up cigarettes. Then I took her out and one day I looked at her and thought: 'Oh well,' and I went back to smoking again, and that was better.

- Benny Hill

I applaud the American Cancer Society for all they do to eradicate smoking. Their local, state and national efforts help to discourage young people from taking up this deadly habit and the resources they provide have helped numerous smokers quit.

- Allyson Schwartz

Give up smoking. Don't get so fat. So much illness is self-induced - which I can't stand. And I'm not a good nursemaid. Don't call me if you're ill.

- Anton du Beke

In England, it's a rare thing to see a player smoking but, all in all, I prefer that to an alcoholic. The relationship with alcohol is a real problem in English football and, in the short term, it's much more harmful to a sportsman. It weakens the body, which becomes more susceptible to injury.
