Actress Cameron Diaz has been criticised by anti-smoking organisations for saying one cigarette once in a while was okay during an appearance on a chat show.
The actress, 41, used to smoke up to 20 a day but quit as she feared she was setting a bad example, reported the Mirror.
"I think one cigarette once in a while is not going to kill you. Diet Coke is bad news. I'd rather just drink sugar. It's better for you," she apparently said while making an appearance on Chelsea Lately to promote her bestseller The Body Book.
