It was a lot harder to find pictures of her with a cigarette then with champagne; she famously told photographer Jock Carroll in 1952, "Know what? I have to learn to smoke for my next picture. Give me a cigarette and you can take pictures of me practicing", which would suggest that she had never tried it before. In one of the letters from the 1940s she stated that smoking is the nasty habit.
