Do all skinny celebrities smoke?

I was just surfing the net and saw some photos of Alexa Chung at fashion week and she looked particularly skinny. It got me thinking how bloody hard it must be to maintain such a low weight and so I did a bit of googling and found loads of pics of her smoking. I then did the same with a few other high profile skinny celebs and every single one I googled was a smoker (Anna Friel, Millie Mackintosh, Kate Moss, Liz Hurley, Claudia Winkleman and loads more). Now I have plenty of bad habits of my own (although not a smoker) but I still feel a bit conned that these women who grace our magazine covers are actually cheating to stay looking as good as they do (ie having a fag to kill their hunger). Some of them bang on about the benefits of working out at the gym, or doing yoga, or always going to bed "a little bit hungry", or running round after a toddler when actually they're just sparking up every five minutes but somehow they never mention that when they're asked how they stay nice and slim.

I had a work colleague who used to smoke about 10-15 a day. she insisted it didn't smell (she was very much mistaken) and that no one could tell.

I'm not sure they would OP These women are committed to being slim, they're just using cigarettes as one tactic. If they quit, it'd be something else. There are lots of people who are slim, even extremely skinny, who don't smoke! I agree it's very disingenuous. I expect it'd be a PR nightmare if they ever answered the "how do you stay so slim" question honestly, especially the ones like Alexa who is a bit of an icon for young women.

Forget the cigarettes, it's the coke that keeps people very slim.
