Is smoking cool again? Hollywood certainly seems to think so.

Several celebrities including Lily-Rose Depp and Timothée Chalamet, who have a large and impressionable fan base, have been seen puffing away at vape pens or cigarettes, despite presumably being well aware of the health risks.

Queen Margrethe of Denmark, who recently announced plans to abdicate the throne after more than half a century as her country’s monarch, has also been revealed to be a chain smoker, even to the point of earning the nickname “Ashtray Queen”.

Here are six more celebrities you may not have known were smokers.

1. Jennifer Lawrence

While Lawrence, 33, has spoken candidly in the past about smoking marijuana, The Hunger Games actress has also been spotted smoking hand-rolled cigarettes and vapes over the years.

2. Dua Lipa

In 2022, the singer, now 28, announced on stage that she had quit smoking to keep herself healthy for her Future Nostalgia tour.

She also said in an interview that she’d hired a personal yoga instructor to help her stay fit and healthy on tour, and feel more confident on stage, per British media.
