It was just yesterday that we all enjoyed those “smoking” hot pictures of Taylor Momsen walking around on the set of Gossip Girl with a cigarette in her juvenile mouth (Now don’t say you didn’t enjoy!). And here’s the after effect of her daring act. Reportedly, the 16-year-old has come under fire from anti-smoking campaigners. Anybody surprised?
Contactmusic reports,
The young star took time out during filming of the hit teen TV show this week (begs25Jan10) for a cigarette break, but the star’s unhealthy habit has sent smoke signals to health advocates. Patrick Reynolds, the director of the Foundation for a Smoke-Free America, insists Momsen’s actions could encourage her impressionable fans to light up. He tells UsMagazine.com, “She really has an extra responsibility to bear as an actress idolised by little girls out there. For her to be smoking sends the wrong message to kids. Evidence shows that stars do influence kids to smoke.”
And if you thought Taylor is worried about this sh*t, just wait till you read what Taylor has to say about this “smoking” issue. In her own words,
To be honest, I don’t f**king care. I didn’t get into this to be a role model. So I’m sorry if I’m influencing your kids in a way that you don’t like, but I can’t be responsible for their actions. I don’t care.
Now that’s like a real babe who is effing ready to enjoy her celebrity status without giving a damn to irrelevant uproars. Keep it up, Taylor!
