"You start smoking to prove that you are a man. Then you try to quit smoking to prove that you are a man" Georges Simenon

Such bright personality in the artistic world as eccentric Vincent Van Gogh was a pipe lover. Being in a fit of depression and having abused absinthe, he cut off his own ear with a razor and ... immediately lit up.

Which of the famous figures did not speak about his love for the pipe. In domestic open spaces, it is primarily associated with Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin. Known for his almost ascetic lifestyle, which he instilled in the whole family, he could not deny himself good tobacco and good quality tubing. During his reign, many pipes were sent to him, and all of them were already well-smoked, made of expensive materials.

Smokers know Winston Churchill a person, because a variety and type of cigars are named after him. Everyone else knows him as a great politician. He was also a Nobel laureate in literature.

In almost all images of the Nobel laureate, the great physicist Albert Einstein can be seen pensive, with a pipe in his hand. This famous physicist Robert Oppenheimer there was a habit worse than smoking - he created atomic bombs. "Now I have become Death, the destroyer of worlds." Said Robert Oppenheimer, quoting the Bhavagad Gita. It happened on the day of the first explosion atomic bomb against Japan on July 16, 1945.

Armandine Aurora Lucile Dupin, later Baroness Dudevant, known as George Sand She also liked to smoke a pipe. She was the most successful writer of her century. If we consider that she lived in the nineteenth century, then smoking a pipe became her outrageous towards society, as well as part of her works. The fashion for pipe smoking among women had passed by the middle of the eighteenth century, and later, a woman engaged in such a pastime automatically placed herself on a par with men.

"Cleopatra" Elizabeth Taylor smoked a hookah. And even after receiving the "Oscar", the first thing she lit a cigarette. It seems that she is absolutely happy at this moment. French women know a lot about real elegance. BUT Catherine Deneuve I also knew in good cigarettes.

They say that Marilyn Monroe used drugs stronger than nicotine. Perhaps they killed her.

However, the most famous smoking heroes are still Sherlock Holmes from the works of Arthur Conan Doyle and Lieutenant Maigret about which Georges Simenon wrote 84 books.

Volochkova smokes like a baba, and Pugacheva - like a temptress

Despite all the calls for a healthy lifestyle, domestic celebrities are in no hurry to part with cigarettes. For some, a bad habit has long become a physical need: the body, exhausted by stress and nocturnal lifestyle, constantly requires its share of nicotine. For others, smoking is more of a social ritual required for communication. You approach a friend, smoke with him, exchange a couple of phrases - and, you see, a joint project has already been drawn. Psychologists say: by the way a person holds a cigarette, smokes, blows smoke and communicates while smoking, you can learn a lot of interesting things about him.

There are plenty of smokers among the stars: film actors, singers (although, it would seem, they should take care of their voice), and politicians smoke ... Those who smoke constantly and with pleasure are the majority, and the lion's share of star smokers periodically vows to themselves, which is necessary quit. But, as a rule, it does not.
- If I had a chance to start all over again and change something in my life, I would get rid of bad habits, - TV presenter Valdis Pelsh admits, - If I could start all over again, I would never smoke. Even try!

Those who are trying to quit and are moving steadily towards the intended goal are few. Behind the scenes of social events, we come across everything more stars tarring electronic cigarettes, and one of them is Alexey Chumakov. According to the singer, you still want to smoke with these plastic pipes wildly, but he intends to hold out until the end and quit. But Grigory Leps chose a different path. The artist cannot yet completely give up tobacco, but he switched to thin women's cigarettes: it seems to him that they are lighter and less harmful. Although doctors warn that the nicotine content in them is not less, plus manufacturers add food flavorings to the so-called "ladies'" cigarettes. These flavors are approved for consumption, but this does not mean that they can be inhaled. Nobody even spent clinical trials to find out how such substances act on the body when inhaled.
In general, celebrities prefer cigarettes, although some sybarites do not deny themselves the pleasure of smoking a cigar or two. The most passionate star fan of rolled tobacco leaves is Igor Matvienko: at parties, the producer does not part with a cigar. Less aesthetically pleasing celebrities like to indulge in a hookah - among them are Anastasia Volochkova and Vyacheslav Manucharov.

Smoke up - in front of you is the leader

According to psychologists, the first strokes of the psychological portrait of a smoker can be drawn up by the way he releases smoke. Let's take, for example, Volochkova with her favorite hookah: Nastya so famously, like a steam locomotive, lets out a jet upwards, which is just a pleasure! A powerful jet of smoke directed upwards with the head thrown back indicates that the smoker is a clear leader, a person who is used to dominating always and everywhere, under any circumstances. This is a person with strong character not accustomed to rejection under any circumstances. Most likely, this is an inveterate egoist, accustomed to perceiving all the events taking place through the prism of his big "I".

Such people usually have problems with a sense of humor - they simply do not understand it, especially subtle or veiled humor. Although, in relation to Anastasia, this point can be discarded: it is enough to remember how the ballerina announced a photo-toad contest for her famous “naked” pictures from the Maldives and even awarded the winner. But the fact that Nastya is used to sweeping away all obstacles in her path and defeating rivals should not be forgotten ...
If the smoke of the smoker goes down, it means that now he is suppressed by something. When such a manner becomes common, this is a signal: most likely, this person belongs to the category of people who are unsociable and indecisive. He feels comfortable only in the company of one person - himself.

"Ivanushka" Grigoriev-Appolonov smokes like a tough man, and Lisovets - like a delicate nature

The farther a lit cigarette is from the palm of your hand, the more delicate and sensitive the person holding it is, the more he has all the signs of a creative nature, guided by feelings and emotions, than by reason and logic. Such a person perceives everyone around him, rather, externally, focusing on the very first impression. And since the intuition of such people is very well developed, the first impression is rarely deceptive. Look at Vlad Lisovets: a cigarette at the very tips of his fingers, a pensive look - we have a subtle creative personality before us.

Those who hold a cigarette approximately in the middle of their fingers, at the level of the second phalanx, are nature, firmly on their feet, adhering to the arguments of reason and able to benefit.
Brutal guys in films often smoke, holding a cigarette between their index and thumbs, as if hiding it in the palm of your hand from the wind. But in life, many have adopted this gesture - this is how they pitch, for example, Valdis Pelsh and "Ivanushka" Andrey Grigoriev-Appolonov. According to psychologists, such a smoker knows well what he wants from this life, and knows how to protect his interests. True, this defense is not like the pressure of a leader sweeping away everything in its path, a person who is used to commanding others. It's about, rather, about stubbornness and obstinacy, when a person with enviable persistence, day by day, in small steps, is moving towards his cherished goal.

Man holding a cigarette between middle and index finger and with each puff, bringing the entire palm to the mouth, most likely - an introvert. And not just an introvert, but a person who is afraid of any strong feelings and emotions. He can demonstrate coldness, detachment and even cynicism with all his behavior as much as he likes, but a characteristic gesture when smoking will betray him with his head. Such a person prefers to keep everyone at a distance, not particularly getting close to anyone - not because he is selfish, but because he is simply afraid of getting burned. For some reason, of all the male stars, this manner of smoking is most characteristic of Marat Basharov. What would that mean?

Most of the fair sex, when smoking, hold the cigarette high, pointing it up - like Irina Khakamada, while men prefer to lower their hand below chest level. For ladies, such a gesture is an involuntary manner of demonstrating beautiful hands and a head thrown back invitingly.

A woman who slowly shakes off the ashes with her index finger and at the same time looks at her hand is likely to be a real temptress. Well, if a lady, as it were, “wipes” a cigarette on an ashtray, you are faced with strong personality- beware, she always gets what she wants! But ladies who smoke cigars (for example, TV presenter Yana Churikova never refuses them) are eccentric people who like to try everything new and are not afraid to insist on their own, even if others do not like it.
