Natasha Lyonne made a big change when she quit smoking last year, but she doesn’t have the same luck with cigarettes.
The actress, 44, revealed she had “quit smoking cigarettes” in a post on Xu, formerly Twitter, on Thursday after a fan asked her: “How’s it going with quitting smoking?” A fan attached a screenshot showing Peacock’s conversation An expressionless face where Lyonne’s character Charlie Cale is told that cigarettes are “really bad for you.”
“Quitting cigarettes was a big enough swing for a while,” she wrote in the post.
Lyonne said she was “pretty sure” she was now drinking the “equivalent of 40 packs a day” which she called “no bueno”.
She concluded the post with a warning to her fans: “Take it from your grandpa kids, keep your lungs clean.”
Natasha Lyonne says she’s become ‘softer’ since quitting: ‘Worst decision I’ve ever made’ (Exclusive)
She is an actress in April told PEOPLE that quitting smoking was a “nightmare.”
“I’ll be honest. It’s the worst decision I’ve ever made,” she teased at the time. “Of course, it is my true and deep hope that the technology will lead to me being able to smoke again without the consequences because it is one of the greatest loves of my life.”
However, she stuck to her choice, given the health risks associated with her long-term habit.
“As a destructive person, it’s really like I’m committing in a way that I can’t deny that I’m completely signing my life away,” Lyonne said, highlighting what led her to the decision. “Like, it was the last gap between, in a way, saying I was going to be a member of society that would participate, and actually going all the way through. And I think a lot of it has to do with just feeling like you know, yet i always want to write and direct movies i still want to do more seasons An expressionless face. I want to have more life. And I think I was honestly scared of that reality.”
