i started to lose interest in her ever since i knew she smoked

is she wearing rob's shades?

^ maybe, but everyone has wayfarers these days.. :/

And wtf, I never knew she smoked.
Oh well.

hmm is it just me that wonders why nobody is calling her a bad influence? we all know twilight has leagues of TWEENS following the movie and the actors. Isn't her smoking considered the same thing as miley cyrus posting up scandalous pics on her myspace or doing "chinky" eyes?

Maaan,...people really dislike a person...for smoking? When we do numerous of other unhealthy things to our bodies, like tanning and stuffing our face full of food that is fried in fat and stuffed full of unhealthy products like growth hormones and the like?

Why is it okay to say, "Oh my God, she smokes, I hate her" and not, "Oh my GOD, she's FAT, I hate her." Yo I totally get it if you hate it when a smoker smokes around other people, because they are affecting people other than themselves, but disliking a person for a personal recreational habit is really....kind of messed up in my opinion.

From now on, I hate every girl who enters a tanning salon, because you are promoting the most COMMON cancer in the world, skin cancer. Way to go be role models with your orange skin, girls and boys! Think of the chiiillddreeeeen before you decide to look like well done turkeys.


EDIT: My grandma is 90, has smoked since she was 17, and doesn't even have emphysema. Smoking increases your chances of getting cancer (so does eating burnt meat and toast, by the way. Or having a nice, warm fire in your fireplace, or walking on the street with cars spewing car exhaust in your face. All carcinogens, all are choices we humans make) but smoking is not a guaranteed fast track to cancer. Don't like smoking? Don't choose it yourself. Don't like when someone is smoking around you? Ask them to move, put it out, or move yourself (though if they don't move you should punch them in the eye, because that is very rude.) But what you SHOULDN'T do is discriminate and use exaggerated health claims as validation for your elitist mentality. Smokers are PEOPLE, they have depth, you know? So to hate them for one personal activity they choose, ESPECIALLY when they do that activity in an environment where they will not bother others, is just...it's bigotry, end of. But it's okay to be a bigot, if the FDA and media says it's okay, right???

EDIT2: I am sorry guys, that was a rant. I didn't mean to offend anyone, so I apologize. It's just...something I really disagree with. I don't care if people hate the act of smoking, or go on a tangent about the health complications that may arise, it just really irks me to people hating the smoker themselves...

I think it's the same reason why Johnny Depp smoking or models smoking isn't considered a bad influence. Stewart has not marketed herself as a teen/tween role model and this is evident in the other roles that she has taken up prior to and after the Twilight trilogy. She's acted in Into the Wild and The Runaways which are both movies catered to an older and more mature viewer group. Simply put, she's an actress who happens to be in a movie followed by lots of tweens--not an actress who targets and markets herself as a role model to tweens. Cyrus, on the other hand, has made an empire based off of the idea that she is good for teenagers and tweens via her association with Disney.

just because your grandma is 90 and supposedly doesnt have any healthy problems from smoking, does not mean it is not a danger to health, you can believe what you want. and yes smokers are people and the non-smokers are too. they can choose not to smoke and dislike smokers, its their choice. you ranting here or anywhere else actually will not change any of it.

plus, i dont care if kristen smokes, its not like her bad breath and health will affect me in anyway. i dislike her because she's just talentless and not attractive. and she does look horrible in these pictures.

Just to set the record straight about smoking and cancer: statistically, less than 50% of all smokers will develop lung cancer; the correlation between lung cancer and cigarettes is not 100% or even 60% or even 51%--however, it is undeniable that there is a correlation between smoking and an increased risk of health problems. This is what people mean when they sue tobacco companies--they are suing tobacco companies for an increased risk of lung cancer, not causing lung cancer. It is impossible to figure out exactly what would cause lung cancer if there are several factors like genetics at play. Furthermore, if there was such a high correlation of smoking and cancer, it would undeniable that the government would ban tobacco. However, the fact remains that tobacco only poses the increased risk of health problems and most smokers do not in fact develop the all-feared lung cancer. The conception that most smokers die of lung cancer is a myth generated by the media and it's not statistically true.

horrible actress..she has like no emotions watsoever.. >__>

and i find this hilarious, when KS smokes, you guys all bash her like no tomorrow, but when GD smokes, you guys all insists its his choice to smoke, and leave him alone? Amazing.

but this is a forum, yeah? I might not sway anyones opinion but I am still free to discuss my opinion. And to me it's alarming to me how, in an age where we strive to fight against intolerance, people still find it alright to ostrisize individuals for their various personal choices. It's wrong, but still people find reasons to justify their prejudices. All I am asking is for people to be tolerant of others.

I don't like Kirsten as an actress either, by the way.

And thank you Rachilde for dispelling some of the myths and propaganda associated with smoking!

^...GD from big bang? really?
kristen = phenomenal actress??? haha...



true, but maybe you should take it to the smoking or anti-smoking thread? and this is the age we are striving to fight against intolerance? that may be true for certain individuals, but there is no way equality and complete or even half tolerance will be achieved. humans are too "intelligent" for that. im not going to write an entire essay on it, but you should get my point right? prejudice will continue even if everyone in the world speaks the same language, has the same culture, etc.

im just saying if people dislike kristen because she smokes, go ahead. when they find johnny depp or GD or whoever smoking hot, whatever. i just sort of roll my eyes and move on. majority of soompiers are immature middle school fangirls anyway.

and i know that smoking doesnt just = lung cancer. i personally dislike it because of the affects on people's breath and teeth and certain brand of cigarretts' smell.

kristen = phenomenal actress??? haha...

That's right, she is a phenomenal actress. She is very talented and that is why she has been able to work so much in her 20 years of life. Sean Penn didn't approach her because there aren't millions of other actresses that would have killed to be in his movie, she didn't win an award just because they felt like giving those things out... she earned it through working hard and taking her work seriously.

Who exactly would you consider a great actress in the same age group? Those Korean soap drama stars? Give me a break.

yea too bad i dont even watch korean soap dramas anymore. but some of the actresses are more talented than kristen.

there are a lot of other much, much better actors and actress around the same age group: evan rachel wood, shia labeouf, eddie redmayne, ellen page, sam riley, sarah bolger, saoirse ronan, etc etc. i've seen kristen in other roles with the same exact dull seemingly forced facial expressions. im not saying she doesnt try, but she is not talented.
