Celebs who smoke
I was at another message board and ran across a long thread posted by a guy who deals cards in Las Vegas. There is a huge discussion there about women celebrities who smoke.
Here is a summary of that thread:
From:
http://www.boards.smokingcelebs.com/ Christina Aguilera - yes, she has been at my table 3 times this year each time smoking Benson Hedges Menthol, (the only other celeb I' ve ever seen smoking Benson Hedges Menthol isMelanie Griffith) not a heavy smoker (3 or so an hour) but she will take a very long inhale and hold the smoke for 10-15 seconds or so (just a very odd smoking trait) before exhaling.
Carol Alt is a Players brand smoker, deep long drags, amazing how the cigarrette burns so quickly when she smokes and very long almost jet like exhales. A seasoned smoking pro!
Pam Anderson - I' ve seen Pam Anderson, but have never seen her light up, which kind of surprises me. I' d have to put her atop the list of " Surprised she doesn' t smoke" .
Oksana Baiul - Newport smoker and degenerate gambler, never seen her leave the tables with a profit, smokes a lot at the tables and must smoke a helluva lot outside the casinos, her teeth are heavily stained.
Pat Benatar: Honestly, I do not think I would be able to recognize Pat if she were sitting in front of me, I' ve heard her music, but I do not even recall talk of her being at the tables by other dealers.
Bonnie Bernstine never seen her
Sue Bird - never seen her smoke at the tables
Sandra Bullock - a Marlboro Light smoker. Sandra Bullock has been in twice (once in April) and has smoked both times (Marlboro Lights). She has a smokers type of voice and I would think that she has smoked for some time.
Jordana Brester - never seen her
Kim Cattrall - Something about Cattrall makes me ill to my stomach, she smokes Cigars at the tables and has a hard azz approach (not very feminine), isn' t afraid to blow smoke right at you. She' s a good gambler but a $hitty tipper.
Kelly Clarkson - never saw her
Chelsea Clinton: she' s smoking Carlton' s.
Katie Couric - the celebrity I saw who shocked me the most by smoking. She was at my table this spring and smoked 4 Marlboro Red Cigarrettes during the time she spent at my table. She definitely knew how to smoke, many nose exhales which a french thrown in every now and then. She had a fancy gold lighter, so my guess is she puts that lighter to good use.
Cindy Crawford - Have never Cindy Crawford.
Angie Dickinson - Used to see Angie alot back when I worked at Caesar' s she smoked Winstons, very heavy smoker back then. She was the only celeb I' ve ever seen blow smoke rings, she blew them to amuse herself between hands.
Shannen Doherty is a heavy Marlboro Light smoker. She' s a sloppy drunk who has been removed from the room on more than one occasion for getting too vulgar.
Julia Louis-Dreyfuss - Sorry have not ever Julia Louis-Dreyfuss at the tables
Faye Dunaway - Never saw her
Kirstin Dunst - I' ve seen Dunst once, but she never smoked at the table.
Gloria Estefan has never smoked at the tables.
Melissa Etheridge pretty much is a chain smoker of Marlboro' s when she plays.
Angie Everhart - Have not ever seen her
Chris Evert - Has been to the tables a few times over the years but I' ve never seen her smoke.
Tina Fey - Sorry have not ever spotted Tina Fey at the tables
Calista Flockhart - Flockhart I' ve seen a couple of times with Camel Lights. Why does that stand out, I didn' t realize Camel made a light brand until I saw her smoking them. She is a big nose exhaler.
Jenni Garth - never seen her
Phyllis George never seen her
Kathie Lee Gifford - Gifford I' ve seen on several occasions, smoking Tareyton 100' s.
Leeza Gibbons - Nor have I seen Leeza.
Dorothy Hamill never seen her
Alyson Hannigan has smoked Camel Cigarrettes at the tables on a couple of occasions.
Tonya Harding now she is a piece of work, Marlboro Lightsmoker, pretty heavy at that, but she incessently coughs, I mean it is annoying. She' s been to the tables a handful of occasions and has this annoying coughing habit, but she will smoke like a chimney the entire time.
Angie Harmon has been to the tables but I haven' t seen her smoke.
Jennifer Love Hewitt - Have never seen Hewitt.
Katie Holmes - no sightings at the tables.
Whitney Houston has been kicked off the premises. She was obnoxious, vulgar and downright nasty when she lost. Very heavy Salem smoker. Drank too much and had nights where she would lose major, major bucks before being removed from the building.
Kate Jackson was at another table and I saw her smoking cork filtered cigarrettes.
Jewel - never saw her
Stacy Keebler never seen her
Jayne Kennedy - Used to be on The NFL Today...years ago. Haven' t seen her at the tables in the last couple of years, but she used to smoke Merit Menthol.
Nancy Kerrigan she' s been to the tables, but has never smoked.
Gladys Knight used to go to the tables alot and smoked Newport Lights. Haven' t seen her in a couple of years. This woman would go on some big big winning and losing streaks.
Suzy Kobler - Capri 120 smoker, odd thing about her smoking is that she only smokes about 60% of the cigarrettte, then crushes it out. Nothing stands out about her smoking style. I' ve seen her on several occasions at the tables doing the same routine. I' ll say this about Kolber, she is genuinely friendly.
Linda Kohn - definitely a Marlboro Red woman, virtually every exhale involves the nose, partially or completely. When playing blackjack she is lucky to go 3 minutes without having a lit cigarrette in her hand.
Anna Kournikova seen her on many occasions with Sergei Federov. She plays a few hands until she gets bored and Sergei normally plays 2 hands for himself plus her hand, while she files her finger nails, brushes her hair, paints her finger nails. But she does smoke Marlboro Light 100' s and snap inhales more often than not. When she isn' t primping, she' s smoking, she gets bored easily at the tables and whines continually to Federov that she wants to leave. It' s comical, the more bored she gets, the more smoke she will blow directly at Sergei.
Tara Lapinski Virginia Slim Ultra Light smoker, smokes like a seasoned veteran for someone her age who has spent the bulk of her life athletically training.
Lisa Leslie - Has been to the tables many times, neversmoked. She can be loud and obnoxious though.
Lisa Ling - never seen her
Rebecca Lobo another I' ve seen at the tables, however never smoking.
Heather Locklear has been to the tables and smoked Marlboro Red' s, does a lot of snap inhales.
Jennifer Lopez - JLo is just plain stupid. Listen to an interview sometime which she is not able to be coached with responses, she will come off dumb as a rock. She' s definitely a smoker, my guess is the nonsmoking bs is a pr stunt of some kind....that is unless she gets so bored watching Ben play cards that she smokes to keep from falling asleep. Jennifer Lopez is at the tables many time with Affleck (a big time player), he plays cards, she smokes Marlboro Ultra Lights. To hear her in a normal conversation, you would think her IQ is 10 at best. Her smoking style isn' t anything special, but everytime I' ve seen her, she has been smoking at the tables.
Lori Loughlin - never seen her
Shirley MacLaine - never saw her
Madonna is a smoker
Patti McGuire (
?) never seen her
Stephanie McMahon another in the line of Marlboro Light 100 smokers. Does well at the tables, but is a poor tipper. Nothing stands out about her style of smoking, although I recall one time she lost a big hand, put the cigarrette in her mouth, picked up her chips, walked to the next table dangling sat down and arranged her chips and bought chips while still dangling and dropping ashes on the table.
Olivia Newton John likes the tables, but never once have I seen her smoke.
Stevie Nicks used to be a heavy Camel smoker, but in the last couple of times I' ve seen her, she has requested non-smoking tables. Maybe she quit.
Nancy O' Dell - never seen her
Olson Twins - never seen them
Anna Paquin - never seen her.
Jane Pauley sat at my table, she didn' t smoke cigarrettes, but she did enjoy a cigar.
Princess Diana (
) little shocked myself at the Princess Diana incident. It was the late 80' s and the only time I have ever seen her at the tables. She had 2 body guards with her. She sat at the table with 2 other females (who I didn' t know, both smoked) after about 20 minutes Diana asked the waitress for a glass of water with lemon and a pack of Marlboro Lights. That evening Diana smoked 3 cigarrettes and looked very at easy doing so. She did have a lighter in her purse. I would
imagine she was a closet type smoker.
Mary Lou Retton never seen her
Kelly Ripa - My guess is that she is still a smoker.....but gambling makes people do some weird things, just because of the risk involved. Her husband was the 1' st to light up and they shared the same pack and lighter. You see her on TV and you think no way she smokes. But I was shocked that day she lit up again and again. I' d have to put Ripa on that most surprised list. She is a Marlboro Red smoker and pretty heavy at that. She was in February with her husband and both smoked the same brand. Very sexy looking, had about 5 or 6 in an hour at the table.
Robin Roberts - never seen her smoke at the tables.
Lisa Robertson (of QVC) has been to the tables several times and she always has Virginia Slim Menthol 120' s with her.
Diana Ross I' ve seen numerous times smoking Kool' s.
Jaime Sale never seen her
Shakira - she smokes Kool 100' s, snobbish bitch, who thinks the world needs to be kissing her azz. Saw her send back 3 Amaretto Stone Sours in a row, 1' st one too much Amaretto, next one too much ice, next one too much sour. Heavy smoker who tries her best to always blow smoke at the other patrons at the table or the dealer.
Brooke Shields - another from my Caesar' s days, she used to campaign about the dangers of smoking. There were 2 people at the table playing when she joined. She immediately lit up and I said " I never would' ve thought you to be a smoker" , she replied " Do your job and deal the cards" and blew a huge plume of smoke right at me.
Amber smith - never saw her
Jamie Lynn Sigler - never seen her
Patty Smythe is a heavy Marlboro smoker.
Anika Sorenstam - I' ve seen her at the tables, but have never seen her light up.
Melissa Stark I' ve seen her at the tables, but have never seen her smoke.
Barbara Streisand ( [:' (] ) never seen her smoke at the tables.
Tiffani Theissen has been to the tables many times with her Marlboro Lights in tow. nothing spectacular, held the cigarrette in an up and down manner off to the side of her ear (somewhat sexy way of holding). Had the attitude of everyone owes her a favor, like to order waitresses around, swore alot when she lost hands.
Tanya Tucker another heavy smoker Winston and Marlboro brands.
Liv Tyler - Smoking and Liv go hand in hand, I can' t beleive she even tried to quit. A cigarrette in her hand is as commonplace as jewelry. Liv Tyler frequents the tables often and always has her Marlboro Red' s in tow. Just dealt cards to her a couple weeks ago.
Meredith Vieira has been to the tables but has never smoked
Lesley Visser likes to puff on Parliments when playing 21. Friendly and a good tipper, she has an odd habit of never holding the cigarrette. After taking a drag, she immediately deashes and places the cigarrette in an ash tray and only grabs the cigarrette when she takes a drag, repeats this process until she extinguishes the smoke.
Sela Ward - I' d love to see Sela Ward come walking through the doors, but that has yet to happen
Karrie Webb - has smoked More cigarrettes on several occasions and done very well at the tables.
Vanna White - Seen Vanna many many times, she used to smoke Marlboro Red' s, but for the last few years she sits at nonsmoking tables. I would think she has quit.
Venus and Serena Williams - Seen them many times too, but neither smokes. They like the tables, seen Serena drop loads of cash, Venus is more conservative.
Torrie Wilson never seen her
Katarina Witt never seen her
Renee Zelwegger she has sat at my table on 4 occasions but has never smoked
I' d have to say my top 5 list of surprises (ladies who
smoke) would have to be:
1. Chelsea Clinton
2. Katie Couric
3. Princess Diana
4. Brooke Shields
5. Kathy Lee Gifford
