Robert Pattinson Faces Backlash For 'Glamourising' Smoking

Is the actor's new shoot irresponsible?...

Thursday 09th Apr 2009

Robert Pattinson has been accused of glamourising smoking after posing fag-in-hand for a hot new photoshoot.

The actor - and real-life nicotine fiend – appears through a haze of cigarette smoke in a series of gritty shots in an upcoming issue of Dossier magazine.

In the no-frills pictures, the Twilight star plays on his scruffy image in jeans, vests and T-shirts, and rocks some full-on bed-head hair.

But it's not just Rob doing the smouldering - he is also clutching a cigarette in two of the shots.



While it's not the first time the actor has been snapped puffing away - he has been seen lighting up while 'off-duty', and sucked on a cigarette in a recent GQ shoot - these latest pictures have made Rob a target for critics who accuse him of flaunting his bad habit.

Do you think Rob is setting a bad example to his fans?

Poll  Do you think Rob deserves the criticism?

Yes

  • First off, smoking is LEGAL and everybody and their mom knows it's bad for you. But then, so is junk food. So give the boy a break. Second: I am glad Rob is being himself and not over-managing his image to please the tweens' parents. Third: those pictures are so damn hot, they should be rated NC17 anyway.

  • Maybe not the best of ideas but give the guy a break. So far we have seen positive things like articles saying he's polite at restaurants and to his crazy fans and that he is a "Smart Boozer". He can't please everyone. Kids need to learn not to idolize celebrities. Smoking is not cool but it's what he chooses to do with his life. Teens need to make that decision based on their lives not his. He's an adult and it’s legal.

  • Why don't you leave him alone? His fan base is 14-16 year olds and older. Their not idolizing him, their drooling over him and admiring his amazing looks. I'm so sick of peole scrutinizing people they don't even know. I don't think he's ever claimed to be perfect, so do leave him alone. This is just like the shit that came out when people found out that Dan Radcliffe smokes too. There are worst things in the woorld then smoking. It's not anything to stick your nose into

  • Ok this is just crazy! who in the world doesn't know what smoking does to you? seriously! this poor guy, leave him alone with all of this crazy stuff. If a whole bunch of teenager girls are going to start smoking because he does that's just retarted.I'm a smoker and have been for 15 years, I didn't start smoking because I thought it was cool or because a celebrity I liked did it. People need to stop judging people bcuz of what they do and don't do he's a smoker that doesn't make him a bad person
