'I'd smoked for 10 years,' says Hermione, 32, who plays Karen Marsden in the hit drama Cold Feet. 'But it got to the point where it was hurting me and I was getting very worried. I knew I had to stop. At the time, I was having to smoke in a play I was doing but after it finished, I thought, 'Right, that's it.' The day after I gave up smoking, I was literally bouncing off the wall. But I was determined to stick it out. I put on a bit of weight and developed a need for cakes but it was worth it. The pounds eventually came off and the craving stopped. I've only had one relapse, in May, after filming a scene for Cold Feet in which Karen smokes. But I stopped after a month because I realised I was being stupid.'", The Sun (The TV Mag), Oct. 23, '99 |

| • | quit - "I said that by 30 I wanted to sort my life out and get healthy. I knew the most important part would be giving up smoking, but it was also going to be the hardest. I had been smoking 40 cigarettes a day since I was 17. I tried all sorts of different theories and nicotine patches but nothing seemed to work. But then, one day, I just decided I would do it. I didn't want to put myself at any more risk of cancer so I just said 'This is not something I am going to do any more.' Apart from anything else, smoking that amount was making me feel sick. Somehow it worked. I don't smoke now but there have been moments when I've been tempted. For example, in one episode of Cold Feet Karen had to smoke a joint and I did smoke a few cigarettes around that period.", Daily Express, Nov. 28, '00 |
