Von Teese slams smoking

Los Angeles, May 14 (IANS) American actress Dita Von Teese, who uses fake smoking devices during her stage shows, says she would never use a real one because it can kill a person.

"I smoke in two of my shows but I use herbal cigarettes. I would never be caught dead smoking a real cigarette in real life," femalefirst.co.uk quoted her as saying.

"I love the look of smoke coming under the stage lights, it's really cinematic and beautiful and reminds us of a time when people didn't know that smoking could kill you. I like to assume that my fans are intelligent enough to understand that and know not to do it in real life," she added.
