In health crazy California, some stars buck the conventional wisdom and smoke anyway, despite the small matters of cancer, bad breath and that crazy accordion lip wrinkle thing.
Recently actress Melanie Griffith has caused a kerfluffle after being photographed actually lighting her 17-year-old daughter Dakota's cigarette in Los Angeles, where the legal age for smoking is 18. The best age to start smoking is never.
Spotted outside the Beverly Hills boutique Maxfield on Wednesday, mère et fille taking a fag break, puffing away.
Griffith was seen with a cigarette dangling out of her mouth, and was using a lighter to help her daughter light up.

her daughter is 17
that is the point-it is a proven leading cause of death
way to go Mel
Its deplorable that a parent wouldn't have the common sense to prevent their children from smoking. I'm not one of those people who wants smoking banned everywhere or anything, but when a child, and 17 is a child, is smoking illegally with the help of their parent that is just wrong. She's done a lot of stupid things in the past, but this one takes the cake. Shame on Mel.
It's not illegal to smoke...just to buy them
it is a health issue more than moral one
would you give your kid something YOU KNEW was lethal to their health?
how about fix the 17 year old a scotch on the rocks too-
'would you give your kid something YOU KNEW was lethal to their health?'
Actually only 30% of people who smoke actually die from smoking related illnesses. It's not 100% like people make it out to be. Still, it is a risk. However, statistics show that in the next few years, obesity (and the problems it brings) *will overtake* smoking as the number one cause of preventable deaths. So moms and dads, think of that the next time you give your kid that artery hardening cheeseburger and fries, or that fat-forming jelly donut. That's just as lethal.
please
a cheeseburger as lethal as a cigarette?
You dont eat cheeseburges every 15 minutes-do you? The aroma of a cheeseburge does not kill innicent bystanders now does it?
Once in a while, a burger - in the scheme of things- is anywhere near the lethality of cigarette smoke-second hand or inhaling.
You must work for a cigarette manufacturer
I'm not going to give advice or anything, but Smoking is bad for you no matter what!! That means NOBODY should be smoking a cigarette!!!! Not even Melanie! Does she like want to get lung cancer or something because, heck, even I know Smoking can kill and I'm only 12!!!!!!!!! So get a life Melanie Griffith and don't take you're daughter's life while you're at it!!!!!!!!
What surprises you people? Hollywood is full of misfit losers that get paid way to much for doing nothing more than reading someone else’s very talented writing. (and no I am not a writer.) Hollywood people are soooo disconnected from mainstream society and a clear vision of right vs. wrong. What Mel did does not surprise me at all. Goes right along with the rest of that screwed up town and the idiots living there!
So what! At least she is with her daughter and not on the arm of someone other than her 'main squeeze'. If there is love in their hearts, so what if they smoke! Like that is the worse thing in the world you can do!!!!!!! Honestly, get a life and let them live their's the way they want, just like the rest of us want to live ours! They don't need to explain to anyone. Are we paying their bills? Everyone has the right to live the way they feel works for them. If it isn't hurting anyone else, so what!
It's not surprising that Melanie, who is known for a sewer mouth, would have a cig hanging out of her filthy mouth. It appears that it's more important to her to have the public view her as a 'modern mom' who lets her kids do what they want than to be a strict mom who raises her kids to be healthy as well as smart. It appears that Dakota must take after her tramp mom, too bad. Another Hollywood kid down the drain, tsk.
