Uma Thurman Quit Smoking Again
Yet another famous smoker claimed she has quit smoking. Uma Thurman said “My evil, old buddy is gone.”
I hope so. Uma Thurman had stopped smoking several times only to pick it up again. I certainly hope that the Kill Bill actress has killed her addictive habit once and for all.
During her recent public appearance, many thought she looked puffy and a little rounded. That led to many speculations that she is starting a family with her boyfriend, Arky Busson. Uma Thurman is not pregnant, her boyfriend, Arky Busson, told Page Six , “She quit smoking.”
Yes, one tends to put on weight when he/she quits smoking. You can go read the reasons at my earlier post, How to Quit Smoking without Gaining Weight. Looking fat may cost her some good roles but I’m certain she will be a lot healthier and happier. At least she can tell herself she has won the struggle, or rather battle, with smoking.
News about her smoking and quitting were rampant all these years. Just look at all these gossips and reports:
According to Daily Dish 25 Feb 1998: “She was a smoker, yes,’ said Thurman’s spokesman, Robert Garlock. ‘But she’s quit, as of three weeks ago. She quit cold turkey, through sheer old willpower. She wanted to do it for the baby. And she’s been good. We were just in London, and that’s the hardest place not to smoke”
But then, in 2000, she was seen puffing away. Instead of admitting to her own weaknesses, she blamed.
World Entertainment News Network, 14 Oct 2000, reported that she said ” ‘It’s Europe! I haven’t really smoked for three years so it’s a terrible fall from grace’, Uma Thurman blames her nicotine habit on a continent.
In Elle magazine, April 2001 issue, she also pointed her finger at then husband. “Ethan started smoking again, so now I’m struggling with this again”
Did all these blaming help? No, she still missed out on leading roles because smoking made her unfit. She claimed that the addictive habit left her out of breath and unable to tackle action scenes.
“I used to smoke so much that I got winded if I did any exercise,” she is quoted by the Daily Star as saying. “I was never rippling and toned like a lot of my colleagues. “
