"She smokes in eight different scenes, clearly inhaling, even from her initial lightings. Her exhales, though, are not very visible. She uses a three-foot holder in one scene at a party. There are a couple of faint talk-exhales and she smokes in the street towards the end"
"All of her scenes are noteworthy, but especially her use of the giant holder. The room is crowded, and she drags with it pointed up toward the ceiling or down to the floor, carries it over her shoulder like a rifle, and accidently sets fire to a woman's hat! She drags with it straight out while greeting a guest, with a wonderful 'combination' exhale--an initial cloud (uninhaled) followed by a thin stream (inhaled)."

Audrey Hepburn - Proof - "The postage stamp was taken out of circulation because of the cigarette. Did Audrey Hepburn smoke? She did. And not just as Holly Golightly in the film [Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961)]. Even in her private life she couldn't leave cigarettes alone in more than 40 years. So why was a graphic designer not allowed to immortalise the actress on a postage stamp in the way that she is nevertheless remembered by many? Namely as Holly Golightly, coquettishly poking out her particularly long cigarette holder from beneath her broad-brimmed hat" , Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Oct. 6, '05
Audrey Hepburn - Proof - "Just think of the iconic image of Audrey Hepburn in [Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961)] as Holly Golightly - posing elegantly with her long cigarette holder, upswept chignon and little black dress. What's not so elegant of course is the way Audrey Hepburn succumbed to the smoking habit herself. Ignoring her mother's 'beauty tip' to: 'keep to six cigarettes a day only', Hepburn managed two or three packs at her worst times - even smoking in her nun's habit on the set of 'The Nun's Story' and chain smoking her way through 'My Fair Lady'", where?, when?
